SIP Returns Formula
SIP returns are calculated using the future value of annuity formula.
M = P × ({[1 + i]^n - 1} / i) × (1 + i)
Where:
M = Maturity amount
P = Monthly SIP amount
i = Monthly rate of return (annual rate / 12 / 100)
n = Number of monthsExamples
₹5,000/month for 10 years
Result: Invested: ₹6,00,000 | Returns: ₹5,61,695 | Total: ₹11,61,695
A monthly SIP of ₹5,000 at 12% p.a. for 10 years almost doubles your investment.
₹10,000/month for 20 years
Result: Invested: ₹24,00,000 | Returns: ₹75,91,479 | Total: ₹99,91,479
The power of compounding: ₹24 lakh invested becomes nearly ₹1 crore in 20 years.
₹2,000/month for 5 years
Result: Invested: ₹1,20,000 | Returns: ₹35,976 | Total: ₹1,55,976
Even small amounts grow meaningfully with consistent SIP investing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a SIP?
SIP (Systematic Investment Plan) is a method of investing a fixed amount in mutual funds at regular intervals (monthly/quarterly), leveraging rupee-cost averaging and compounding.
Is SIP return guaranteed?
No. SIP returns depend on market performance. The calculator uses an assumed rate of return. Actual returns may vary.
What is a realistic SIP return rate?
Historically, equity mutual funds in India have delivered 10–15% CAGR over long periods. For conservative estimates, use 8–10%.
Can I start SIP with ₹500?
Yes. Many mutual fund schemes allow SIP from ₹500 per month. Even small amounts compound significantly over 10–20 years.
What is the difference between SIP and lumpsum investment?
SIP invests fixed amounts periodically (averaging cost), while lumpsum invests a large amount at once. SIP reduces timing risk but lumpsum may outperform in a rising market.
