How SIP returns are calculated
A SIP (Systematic Investment Plan) invests a fixed amount every month into mutual funds. Returns compound monthly, which is why long-term SIPs grow dramatically. The standard formula used by all fund houses:
Where P = monthly investment, i = monthly return rate (annual ÷ 12), and n = total months. A ₹10,000 monthly SIP at 12% annual return grows to approximately ₹23.2 lakh in 10 years (₹12 lakh invested) and over ₹1 crore in 20 years (₹24 lakh invested) — the rest is compounding.
SIP vs Lumpsum
SIP spreads your investment across market ups and downs (rupee cost averaging), making it ideal for salaried investors. A lumpsum investment can outperform when markets rise steadily, but carries higher timing risk. Many investors do both — use our lumpsum calculator to compare.
Frequently asked questions
Equity mutual funds in India have historically returned 10–14% annually over long periods. 12% is the most commonly used assumption for planning. Debt funds return 6–8%. Past performance does not guarantee future returns.
At 12% annual return: roughly ₹10,000/month for 20 years, ₹22,000/month for 15 years, or ₹43,000/month for 10 years reaches ₹1 crore. Starting earlier dramatically reduces the monthly amount needed.
No. SIP is a method of investing, not a product. Returns depend on the mutual fund's market performance. This calculator shows projections based on your assumed rate, not guaranteed outcomes.
