SIP Calculator

A SIP (Systematic Investment Plan) calculator estimates the maturity value of investing a fixed amount every month at an expected rate of return. It separates how much you invest from the wealth gained through compounding, helping you plan long-term goals.

How to Use the SIP Calculator

  1. Enter the amount you plan to invest each month.
  2. Add your expected annual return rate.
  3. Set the investment duration in years.
  4. See the total invested, estimated returns and final maturity value.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a SIP?

A Systematic Investment Plan is a method of investing a fixed sum at regular intervals — usually monthly — into a mutual fund or similar instrument, benefiting from rupee/dollar cost averaging and compounding.

How is SIP maturity value calculated?

It uses the future value of an annuity formula: FV = P × [((1+i)^n − 1) / i] × (1+i), where P is the monthly investment, i is the monthly return and n is the number of months.

Is the expected return guaranteed?

No. Market-linked returns vary, so the figure is an estimate for planning. This tool assumes a constant rate for illustration only.

Does a longer SIP make a big difference?

Yes — because of compounding, extending a SIP by even a few years can significantly increase the final maturity value.
