SIP (Systematic Investment Plan) is a method of investing a fixed amount regularly (monthly/quarterly) in mutual funds. It works on rupee cost averaging - you buy more units when markets are low and fewer when markets are high, reducing the impact of market volatility. The formula is: FV = P × [((1 + r)^n - 1) / r] × (1 + r), where P is monthly investment, r is monthly return rate, and n is number of months.

Frequently Asked Questions
Step-up SIP allows you to increase your monthly investment by a fixed percentage annually (typically 10%). This helps you invest more as your income grows, significantly boosting long-term wealth. For example, starting with ₹10,000/month with 10% annual step-up at 12% returns for 20 years yields approximately ₹1.18 crores vs ₹99 lakhs with regular SIP - a difference of ₹19 lakhs!
SIP involves regular small investments over time, benefiting from rupee cost averaging and reducing market timing risk. Lump sum is a one-time large investment that may yield higher returns if timed correctly but carries higher risk. SIP is better for salaried individuals with regular income, while lump sum suits those with large one-time funds like bonuses or inheritance. Our calculator shows both options for comparison.
Equity mutual fund SIP returns are taxed as: Short-term capital gains (STCG) at 20% if held less than 1 year, Long-term capital gains (LTCG) at 12.5% on gains above ₹1.25 lakh per year if held more than 1 year. Debt fund SIP returns are taxed as per your income tax slab. Our calculator shows post-tax returns for accurate wealth planning.
SWP (Systematic Withdrawal Plan) allows you to withdraw a fixed amount regularly from your mutual fund investment. It's ideal for retirees or those needing regular income. The calculator shows how long your corpus will last with regular withdrawals and the remaining balance. You can also set up SWP to withdraw only the gains while preserving the principal.
STP (Systematic Transfer Plan) allows you to transfer a fixed amount from one mutual fund scheme to another regularly. It's useful when you have a lump sum but want to invest it gradually to reduce market risk. For example, transfer from a debt fund to an equity fund over 12 months. This combines the safety of debt funds with the growth potential of equity funds.
Inflation erodes the purchasing power of your returns over time. If your SIP earns 12% but inflation is 6%, your real return is only 6%. Our calculator shows both nominal and inflation-adjusted (real) returns, helping you understand the actual purchasing power of your future wealth. Always consider inflation when planning long-term goals.
SIP in equity mutual funds typically offers higher returns (12-15% long-term) compared to FD (6-7%), but comes with market risk. FD offers guaranteed returns with no market risk. For long-term goals (5+ years), SIP is generally better. For short-term goals or risk-averse investors, FD is preferable. Our comparison tool helps you decide based on your goals and risk appetite.
Most mutual funds allow SIP starting from ₹500 per month. Some funds even allow ₹100/month. There's no upper limit for SIP investments. The key is to start early and stay consistent. Even small amounts invested regularly can create significant wealth over 15-20 years due to the power of compounding.
Yes, you can download your SIP analysis as a detailed PDF report or Excel/CSV spreadsheet. The PDF includes charts, year-wise breakdown, tax analysis, and recommendations. Excel files contain all data for further analysis and record-keeping. Both formats are professional-grade and suitable for financial planning and advisor consultations.
The ideal SIP tenure depends on your financial goals. For wealth creation, 10-15 years minimum is recommended to benefit from compounding. For retirement, 20-30 years. For short-term goals like buying a car, 3-5 years. The longer the tenure, the more you benefit from compounding. Our calculator shows results for any tenure you choose.
A good rule is to invest 10-20% of your monthly income in SIP. Start with an amount you're comfortable with and can sustain long-term. Use our calculator to work backwards - enter your goal amount and tenure to see how much you need to invest monthly. Always maintain an emergency fund (6 months expenses) before starting SIP.
