Overview & Core Concept
A Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) allows investors to allocate consistent amounts into mutual funds every month. This approach eliminates the impossible gamble of predicting market tops and bottoms.
Through Rupee Cost Averaging, market corrections work in your favor by lowering your average cost per unit. Over 10+ years, compounding returns eclipse invested principal by multiples.
Step-by-Step: How to Use the Calculator
Enter Monthly Contribution Amount
Specify the amount you plan to invest every month (e.g. ₹5,000 to ₹50,000).
Set Expected Annual Return Rate
Choose an expected annualized return (CAGR). Historically, broad Indian equity indices have achieved 12–14% over 10+ year horizons.
Select Investment Tenure
Slide tenure between 1 and 30 years to observe how compounding accelerates rapidly after Year 10.
Review Compounding Breakdown Ledger
Inspect the year-by-year accumulation table showing annual deposits, interest earned, and closing corpus.
