How it Works
The SIP Calculator uses the standard compound interest formula adapted for regular monthly contributions. It calculates the future value by applying the monthly interest rate to each accumulated monthly deposit. Because each deposit earns interest for a different length of time, the formula accounts for the compounding effect on every single installment.
Examples
Input: Monthly: ₹5,000, Return: 12%, Time: 10 years
Result: Invested: ₹6,00,000 | Returns: ₹5,61,695 | Total: ₹11,61,695
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a SIP?
SIP (Systematic Investment Plan) is a method of investing a fixed sum regularly in a mutual fund scheme. It allows you to buy units on a given date each month, helping you benefit from rupee cost averaging and the power of compounding.
Are SIP returns guaranteed?
No. SIPs are typically investments in market-linked mutual funds, which are subject to market risks. The expected return rate you enter in this calculator is merely an assumption for estimation purposes. Actual returns may be higher or lower depending on market performance.
What is the power of compounding in SIP?
Compounding means you earn returns not just on your original investment, but also on the returns accumulated in previous periods. Over long durations (like 10-20 years), compounding significantly accelerates wealth creation.
What is the difference between total invested and estimated returns?
"Total Invested" is the sum of all your monthly deposits from your own pocket. "Estimated Returns" is the profit or growth generated by those investments over the specified period.
