SIP Goal Planner — Work Backwards From Your Target

Most Indians invest what they can afford and hope for the best. Goal-based investing reverses this: define exactly what you need (₹1 crore for retirement, ₹60 lakhs for a child's education), when you need it, and calculate the precise monthly SIP required. This turns vague financial hopes into concrete, actionable monthly targets.

📐 Formula

Required SIP = Target × r / [(1+r)^n − 1] / (1+r)
Where Target = goal corpus, r = monthly return (annual%÷12÷100), n = total months

Step-up SIP: solved iteratively — starting SIP that grows by X% each year to reach target.
💡 Planning Tips
✓ Add 20-40% buffer to your target to account for inflation in long-term goals.
✓ Use 10-11% return for planning (conservative) — better to over-save than under-save.
✓ Step-up SIP of 10%/yr saves 30-40% on starting SIP while reaching the same goal.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

How much monthly SIP do I need for ₹1 crore in 10 years? +

At 12% annual return you need approximately ₹43,470/month. For 15 years at 12% it drops to ₹21,925/month. For 20 years at 12%, just ₹8,700/month. The longer your horizon, the lower your required SIP.

How does step-up SIP help reach goals faster? +

A step-up SIP increases your SIP by a fixed % every year (e.g. 10%). Because you invest more as your income grows, you need 30-40% less starting SIP to reach the same goal compared to a fixed SIP. Ideal for salaried professionals expecting annual hikes.

What return should I assume for goal planning? +

Use 10-11% for large-cap/index funds (conservative), 12-13% for flexi-cap (moderate), 13-15% for mid-cap (aggressive). Always plan conservatively — if actual returns are higher, you'll reach your goal early.

Should I adjust my target corpus for inflation? +

Yes. ₹1 crore today will be worth ~₹55 lakhs in real terms after 15 years at 6% inflation. For retirement and education goals, always inflate your current target by expected inflation × years.
