How to use the SIP Calculator
- 1
Enter the amount you will invest every month. - 2
Enter the annual return you expect. Equity funds have historically returned 10–12% over long periods, but returns are not guaranteed. - 3
Enter the number of years. - 4
Add a yearly step-up if you plan to increase the SIP as your income grows.
SIP formula
M = P × [(1 + i)^n − 1] ÷ i × (1 + i)
P = monthly SIP · i = annual return ÷ 12 ÷ 100 · n = months
Worked example
₹10,000 a month for 10 years at 12% a year: you invest ₹12,00,000. The estimated value is ₹23,23,391 — ₹11,23,391 of it from returns. Raising the SIP by 10% every year lifts the value to about ₹33.7 lakh on ₹19.1 lakh invested.
