Overview
Use this SIP calculator to estimate how a regular monthly investment can grow over time. It helps compare different monthly amounts, expected annual returns, and investment periods before starting or increasing a SIP.
The calculator shows total invested amount, estimated maturity value, and expected gains. The return is an estimate, not a guaranteed mutual fund outcome.
SIP Formula
- Monthly rate = expected annual return / 12 / 100.
- Future value = monthly investment x (((1 + monthly rate)^months - 1) / monthly rate) x (1 + monthly rate).
- Expected gain = future value - total invested amount.
Practical Tips
- Run the calculator with conservative return assumptions as well as optimistic ones.
- Increasing the investment period often has a larger impact than chasing a higher return.
- Review fund performance, risk, expense ratio, and tax treatment before investing.
