❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What is SIP and how does it work? +

SIP (Systematic Investment Plan) is a method of investing a fixed amount in mutual funds every month. It uses rupee cost averaging — buying more units when markets fall and fewer when markets rise, resulting in a lower average cost over time.

How much SIP do I need for ₹1 crore? +

At 12% annual returns, you need approximately ₹4,300/month for 25 years, ₹9,000/month for 20 years, or ₹22,000/month for 15 years to accumulate ₹1 crore. Use our SIP calculator to get exact figures.

Is SIP safe for beginners? +

Yes, SIP in large-cap or index mutual funds is one of the safest long-term investments for beginners. Unlike lump sum investing, SIP reduces timing risk through rupee cost averaging.

What is the minimum SIP amount? +

Most mutual funds allow SIP starting from ₹100-500/month. Some index funds like Navi Nifty 50 allow SIP from just ₹10/month.

SIP Calculator India — Everything You Need to Know

A Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) lets you invest a fixed amount in mutual funds every month. Instead of timing the market with a lump sum, SIP uses rupee cost averaging — buying more units when markets fall, fewer when markets rise — resulting in a lower average cost over time. It is the most popular way for salaried Indians to build long-term wealth.

📐 Formula & How It Works

SIP Future Value = P × [(1 + r)ⁿ − 1] / r × (1 + r)

Where P = monthly SIP amount, r = monthly return rate (annual rate ÷ 12), n = total number of months.

Example: ₹10,000/month for 15 years at 12% annual return → P=10000, r=0.01, n=180 → Future Value = ₹50.46 Lakhs.

🛠️ How to Use This Calculator

  1. Step 1: Enter your monthly SIP amount (start with what you can afford — even ₹500 works).
  2. Step 2: Set the expected annual return rate — 10–12% for large-cap equity, 13–16% for mid/small cap.
  3. Step 3: Choose your investment duration — longer is always better due to compounding.
  4. Step 4: See your projected corpus, total invested, and profit breakdown instantly.
  5. Step 5: Use the chart to visualise how your wealth grows year by year.
💡 Pro Tips
✓ Start early — even ₹1,000/month for 30 years beats ₹5,000/month for 15 years.
✓ Step up your SIP by 10% every year to match salary growth.
✓ Invest in direct plans — they save 0.5–1% annually vs regular plans.
✓ Don't stop SIP during market crashes — those are the best buying opportunities.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What is SIP and how does it work? +

SIP (Systematic Investment Plan) lets you invest a fixed monthly amount in mutual funds automatically on a set date. It works like an EMI for wealth creation — disciplined, automatic, and powerful over time. Returns are market-linked.

How much SIP do I need for ₹1 crore? +

At 12% annual returns: ₹22,000/month for 15 years, ₹9,000/month for 20 years, or ₹4,300/month for 25 years. The longer the duration, the lower the monthly SIP needed — this is the power of compounding.

SIP vs lumpsum — which is better? +

For salaried individuals with monthly income, SIP is better as it removes timing risk and builds discipline. Lumpsum is better if you have a large amount ready and markets are at a significant correction. Many experts recommend both — SIP for regular income, lumpsum during crashes.

What is the minimum SIP amount in India? +

Most mutual funds allow SIP from ₹500/month. Some index funds like Navi Nifty 50 allow ₹10/month. There is no maximum limit.

Are SIP returns guaranteed? +

No. SIP returns are market-linked and not guaranteed. However, long-term SIPs (10+ years) in diversified equity funds have historically delivered 10–15% CAGR in India, making them one of the best wealth creation tools available to retail investors.

Can I stop or pause my SIP? +

Yes. You can pause SIP for 1–3 months or stop it anytime without any penalty. Units already purchased remain in your account. Most platforms allow this with one click.

SIP Calculator — How It Works & When to Use It

A Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) is the most disciplined way for salaried Indians to build long-term wealth. You invest a fixed amount every month — say ₹10,000 — into a mutual fund. The fund buys units at the current price. When markets fall, you buy more units for the same ₹10,000. When markets rise, your existing units are worth more. This is called rupee cost averaging — and it eliminates the risk of bad market timing entirely.

The SIP formula is: FV = P × [(1 + r)ⁿ − 1] / r × (1 + r), where P is monthly amount, r is monthly return rate, n is total months. At ₹10,000/month for 20 years at 12% annual return, this produces approximately ₹99.9 lakhs — nearly ₹1 crore on a total investment of just ₹24 lakhs. The remaining ₹75.9 lakhs is pure compounding gain.
