Did You Know?
Start early, invest small
₹1,000/month for 30 years at 12% = ₹35 lakhs. ₹2,000/month for 20 years at 12% = ₹20 lakhs. Starting 10 years earlier with half the amount beats doubling your investment later.

How to use this calculator

1

Monthly investment

Enter the fixed amount you invest every month.

2

Expected return

Historical large-cap equity average is 12–14%. Use a conservative rate for planning.

3

Tenure

Longer tenure amplifies compounding dramatically. Try 20 vs 10 years.

4

Step-up (optional)

Increases your SIP by a fixed % each year — matching salary increments.

The formula explained

FV = P × ((1+r)ⁿ − 1) ÷ r × (1+r)

P = Monthly SIP   r = Monthly return (annual ÷ 12 ÷ 100)   n = Total months

For step-up SIP, the monthly amount increases annually and each year is calculated separately then summed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is SIP?

A Systematic Investment Plan lets you invest a fixed amount monthly in a mutual fund. Each instalment buys units at current NAV, averaging out market highs and lows.

Are SIP returns guaranteed?

No. Returns are market-linked. The rate you enter is an assumption. Historical large-cap equity returns in India have been 12–15% over 10+ year periods.

What is a step-up SIP?

Your monthly contribution automatically increases by a fixed % each year — e.g. 10% step-up on ₹5000 means ₹5500 in year 2, ₹6050 in year 3, etc.

Can I pause my SIP?

Most fund houses allow pausing for 1–3 months without cancelling. Your existing units stay invested and keep growing.
