Inputs used

  • Monthly SIP amount, expected annual return, investment tenure, and optional step-up
  • Goal mode uses target corpus, expected return, and tenure

Formula basis

  • Future value uses monthly compounding for recurring contributions
  • Goal SIP uses PMT-based reverse calculation for required monthly amount

Assumptions and limits

  • Expected return is constant through the full tenure
  • No entry/exit load, tax, or fund-level expense variations are modeled

Intro

SIP planning is most effective when you model both contribution behavior and target outcomes. This SIP calculator supports regular SIP, goal-based planning, and SIP vs lumpsum comparison in one workflow.

If you are searching for SIP step-up calculator or goal SIP calculator, this page helps you estimate required monthly investment, return contribution, and how annual step-up changes long-term outcomes.

Example Calculation

Assume ₹15,000 monthly SIP for 15 years at expected 12% annual return. The calculator projects total invested amount, expected corpus, and returns. Add a 10% yearly step-up to compare how progressive contribution growth can improve final corpus without a large first-year commitment.

How the Formula Works

SIP mode uses periodic compounding across monthly contributions. Goal mode reverses compounding logic to estimate required monthly SIP for a target corpus. Comparison mode evaluates recurring SIP and one-time lumpsum under the same return horizon for consistent decision support.

FAQ

What is a SIP step-up calculator used for?

It helps you model yearly increase in monthly SIP amount so investments can scale with income growth instead of staying flat.

Are SIP returns guaranteed?

No. SIP returns are market-linked. This tool uses expected return assumptions for planning scenarios only.

Should I choose SIP or lumpsum?

That depends on cash flow and risk profile. Comparison mode helps you evaluate projected outcomes under aligned assumptions.
