Overview

A Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) is a method of investing a fixed amount in mutual funds at regular intervals — typically monthly. SIPs harness three powerful investment principles simultaneously: rupee cost averaging (buying more units when prices are low and fewer when high), the power of compounding (returns earned on reinvested returns), and the discipline of regular investing. Over long time horizons, even modest monthly SIP amounts can build substantial wealth. Our SIP Calculator shows you the projected future value of your SIP investment based on your monthly contribution, expected annual return rate, and investment duration. See the total amount invested versus the wealth created through returns — the difference often surprises first-time investors. While actual mutual fund returns vary, the calculator lets you model optimistic, conservative, and moderate scenarios to plan your financial goals with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between SIP and lump sum investment?

SIP invests a fixed amount monthly, averaging your purchase cost over time. Lump sum invests the entire amount at once. SIP reduces timing risk; lump sum can be better in a rising market.

What return rate should I use for equity mutual funds?

Indian equity mutual funds have historically returned 12–15% over long periods. Use 10–12% for moderate projections; 8% for conservative planning.

Is SIP return guaranteed?

No. Mutual fund returns are market-linked and not guaranteed. Past returns are not indicative of future performance. The calculator uses your estimated rate for projection purposes only.

Can I increase my SIP amount over time?

Yes — this is called Step-Up SIP. Increasing your SIP by 10–15% annually significantly boosts long-term wealth creation. Ask your mutual fund platform about step-up SIP options.

Is SIP better than FD for wealth creation?

Over 10+ year horizons, equity SIPs have historically significantly outperformed FDs. However, SIPs carry market risk while FDs offer guaranteed returns. Balance both based on your risk tolerance.
