Frequently asked questions

Quick answers before you start.

What return should I assume for a SIP?

Equity mutual funds have historically returned 10–14% annually over long periods in India, but returns are not guaranteed. Use 12% as a middle estimate, and try 10% and 14% to see the range.

How is SIP future value calculated?

The calculator uses the future value of an annuity formula: FV = P × ((1+r)^n − 1) / r × (1+r), where P is the monthly investment, r is the monthly return rate, and n is the number of months. It assumes your investment compounds monthly.

When should I start a SIP?

The earlier, the better — time does most of the work. Investing ₹5,000 monthly for 20 years at 12% grows to roughly ₹50 lakh, while the same SIP over 10 years reaches about ₹11.6 lakh. Starting five years earlier can more than double your corpus.
