How the Calculation Works
SIP uses the Future Value of Annuity formula: FV = P × [((1+r)^n - 1) / r] × (1+r). Each monthly investment compounds for different periods - your first payment gets full compounding while last payments compound minimally. This creates the powerful wealth multiplication effect that makes SIP India's most popular investment method among retail investors.
Example Scenarios
₹5,000/month for 20 years at 12% returns = ₹38.4 lakh (₹12 lakh invested + ₹26.4 lakh returns)
₹10,000/month for 15 years at 10% returns = ₹25 lakh for retirement corpus
₹3,000/month for 10 years at 10% returns = ₹5.1 lakh for child's education

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I change my SIP amount after starting?
Yes! Most mutual fund companies allow you to increase SIP amount (Step-up SIP) annually. Some offer flexibility to decrease temporarily during financial hardship. This calculator shows fixed SIP - consult your fund provider for variable SIP options.
What is a good expected return rate for SIP calculation?
Debt funds: 6-8% | Balanced/Hybrid: 10-12% | Equity/Growth: 12-15%. Conservative estimate is 10% for long-term equity SIP. Use higher rates for aggressive portfolios (small-cap funds) and lower for debt-heavy portfolios.
Is ₹500/month SIP worth it?
Absolutely! ₹500/month is perfect starting point. Over 20 years at 12% returns, ₹500 SIP becomes ₹3.84 lakh. Starting is more important than amount. You can increase as income grows.
What's the difference between SIP and mutual funds?
Mutual fund is investment product; SIP is method of investing in mutual funds. You can invest lumpsum OR via SIP into same mutual fund. SIP's advantage is disciplined regular investing and rupee-cost averaging.
Can I withdraw from SIP anytime?
Yes, but check exit load. Most equity funds have 1% exit load within 1 year. After 1 year, exit is free. Long-term gains (>1 year) get indexation benefits for tax savings in India.
Is SIP better than fixed deposits (FDs)?
For wealth creation over 10+ years, equity SIP historically beats FDs. FDs give ≈6% returns (±2%) while equity SIP averages 12%+ long-term. SIP is better for wealth building; FD is better for capital preservation.
