How it works
How the SIP Calculator works
Quick answer: Investing ₹10,000 a month for 10 years at an expected 12% a year grows to about ₹23,23,391. You invest ₹12,00,000; estimated returns are ₹11,23,391.
Formula
FV = P × ((1 + i)^n − 1) ÷ i × (1 + i)
P is the monthly investment, i the annual rate ÷ 12, and n the number of monthly instalments. The (1 + i) term assumes each instalment is invested at the start of the month.
Worked example

Frequently asked questions
What is SIP?
A systematic investment plan invests a fixed amount on a regular schedule.
Are SIP returns guaranteed?
No. The entered rate is an assumption and market returns vary.
Is SIP return the same as CAGR?
No. Because money goes in monthly, SIP performance is measured with XIRR, which accounts for each instalment's timing.
