What is SIP?

SIP stands for Systematic Investment Plan. It is a method of investing a fixed amount regularly in mutual funds. Instead of investing a large amount at once, SIP allows investors to invest smaller amounts every month.

SIP is popular because it helps investors build wealth gradually over time. It also brings discipline to investing and reduces the need to time the market.

How Does This SIP Calculator Work?

This SIP calculator estimates the future value of your monthly investment based on three inputs: monthly investment amount, expected annual return, and investment duration.

The calculator assumes that the investment is made every month and the returns are compounded monthly. The final value shown is an estimate and may differ from actual market returns.

SIP Calculation Formula

The SIP maturity amount is calculated using the following formula:

FV = P × [((1 + r)n – 1) / r] × (1 + r)
  • FV = Future value of SIP
  • P = Monthly investment amount
  • r = Monthly rate of return
  • n = Total number of monthly investments

Example of SIP Calculation

If you invest ₹5,000 every month for 10 years at an expected annual return of 12%, your total investment will be ₹6,00,000. Based on monthly compounding, the estimated maturity value may be around ₹11.6 lakh.

Benefits of SIP Investment

Disciplined Investing Helps you invest regularly every month.
Long-Term Wealth Creation Useful for building wealth gradually over time.
Small Starting Amount Many SIPs can be started with a small monthly amount.
Market Timing Pressure Reduced SIP reduces the need to invest a large amount at one time.

SIP vs Lump Sum Investment

In SIP, you invest a fixed amount regularly, usually every month. In lump sum investment, you invest a large amount at one time. SIP may be more suitable for salaried individuals who want to invest regularly from their monthly income.

Lump sum investment may work better when you already have a large amount available and are comfortable with market risk. Both methods have their own advantages depending on your financial goals and risk profile.
