Returns

SIPs are usually into market-linked funds, so returns vary and can be negative over shorter periods. The expected return you enter is an assumption, not a guarantee.

Quick Tool Overview

The SIP Calculator projects a systematic investment plan from a monthly amount, an expected annual return and a number of years, giving the maturity value, the total invested and the gain on top. A step-up option models the version most people actually run.

About the SIP Calculator

A systematic investment plan puts a fixed amount into a fund at regular intervals. Enter the monthly amount, an expected annual return and the number of years to get the maturity value, the total you invested and the gain on top.

A step-up option models the version most people actually run, where the contribution rises each year in line with income. The effect is larger than it looks, because each increase compounds for the remaining term. The calculator also compares your SIP against investing the same total as a single lump sum at the start, which is a fair way to see what you give up in expected return for the smoother entry price that regular investing buys you.

Key features of the SIP Calculator

Annual step-up

Model a contribution that rises each year with income — the effect is larger than it looks, because each increase compounds for the remaining term.

Invested versus gained

The total you put in and the growth on top are reported separately rather than as one maturity figure.

Lump sum comparison

Your SIP is compared against investing the same total at the start, a fair way to see what the smoother entry price costs you in expected return.

Any duration

Short goals and thirty-year horizons are both handled, with the compounding done monthly.

Instant what-ifs

Adjust the monthly amount or the return and the maturity value updates as you type.
