All About Mutual Fund SIP Calculators

Project future wealth gains from monthly mutual fund SIPs. Adjust returns and inflation to estimate long-term capital growth.

SIP Future Value Formula

FV = P × [ ( (1 + i)^n - 1 ) / i ] × (1 + i)

Where: FV is future value; P is monthly SIP deposit; i is monthly rate (annual return / 12 / 100); and n is total months.

Worked Example: ₹10,000 Monthly SIP for 15 Years

Suppose an investor starts a Systematic Investment Plan of ₹10,000 per month in an equity mutual fund delivering an estimated 12% annual rate of return over 15 years.

Monthly Contribution (P) ₹10,000
Investment Tenure 15 Years (180 Months)
Expected Annual Return 12% p.a.
Total Capital Invested ₹18,00,000
Estimated Wealth Gain ₹32,45,760
Total Maturity Corpus ₹50,45,760

What is a Systematic Investment Plan (SIP)?

A Systematic Investment Plan allows investors to contribute fixed amounts periodically into mutual funds, building financial discipline and mitigating market timing risks.

How Does a SIP Benefit from Compound Interest?

Accumulated returns earn further interest in subsequent months. This compounding effect accelerates wealth accumulation over longer investment horizons.

What is Rupee Cost Averaging in SIPs?

Fixed monthly investments buy more fund units when prices fall and fewer units when prices rise, averaging out unit acquisition costs automatically.

Can I pause or stop my SIP investment at any time?

Are SIP mutual fund returns guaranteed?

No, returns depend on underlying equity or debt market performance, though long-term SIPs historically beat traditional deposits.
