In-depth guide
A Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) is the most common way Indian retail investors put money to work — a fixed monthly amount into a mutual fund, automated via mandate. This calculator shows what that monthly habit compounds into over time, plus a lumpsum alternative for comparison.
The standard SIP future-value formula (annuity-due):
FV = M · [((1+i)^n − 1) / i] · (1+i)
The trailing (1+i) factor is the annuity-due adjustment — it assumes you invest at the start of each month (so the money earns one extra month of compounding). This matches AMFI's standard SIP calculator convention.
A ₹10,000 monthly SIP at 12% annual return:
The returns become dominant past year 10. This is why fund managers, AMFI ads and personal-finance writers all hammer the same message: start early, stay invested. A 25-year SIP at the same monthly amount delivers ~4× the maturity of a 15-year SIP — and ~12× the returns.
Mathematically, if returns are positive and constant, a lumpsum invested at year 0 always beats spreading the same total across n years — the early money compounds longer.
In practice, SIP usually wins for retail investors because:
The lumpsum tab here uses standard compound interest (FV = P · (1+r)^t) and is useful for one-off investments — bonus money, inheritance, a windfall.
Real-world SIP returns deviate from the smooth curve shown here for several reasons:
Educational only — not financial advice. Past performance doesn't predict future returns. Talk to a SEBI-registered investment adviser for personal planning.
When to reach for it. Use it to set a monthly investment habit and visualise the power of compounding over a long horizon.
When something else is better. A fixed assumed return is a smoothing fiction; real market returns are volatile and never a straight line.
The pitfall to watch. Anchoring on an optimistic return rate is the common mistake — stress-test the plan at a conservative rate too.

No. The SIP and lumpsum math runs entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server, logged, or stored.
FV = M · [((1+i)^n − 1) / i] · (1+i), where M is the monthly investment, i is the monthly rate (annual ÷ 12 ÷ 100), and n is the number of months. The trailing (1+i) is the annuity-due adjustment — it assumes you invest at the start of each month, the convention AMFI and most Indian mutual-fund houses use.
Historical equity-mutual-fund returns in India have averaged 12–15% CAGR over 15+ year windows, with significant year-to-year variation. Debt funds historically deliver 6–8%. Hybrid funds sit in between. These are not guarantees — past performance doesn't predict future returns. Pick a conservative rate (10–12%) for planning.
No. The maturity value shown is in today's currency units at nominal returns. To estimate real (inflation-adjusted) value, use a lower rate — e.g. if you expect 12% nominal and 6% inflation, plug in 6% to see what the corpus would buy in today's terms.
No. Capital gains tax on equity mutual funds in India is 10% on long-term gains (held >1 year) above ₹1 lakh per year. Debt funds are taxed at slab rates as of April 2023. The figures here are pre-tax — actual take-home is lower. Talk to a CA for your specific tax situation.
Mathematically, if markets only go up at a steady rate, a lumpsum at year 0 always beats spreading the same money over n years (because the early money compounds longer). In practice, SIP wins for most retail investors because it sidesteps timing risk and enforces savings discipline. If you have a lumpsum and the market is at all-time highs, SIP into the same fund over 12 months is a defensible middle ground.
Annuity-due assumes payments at the start of each period (what this tool uses, matching AMFI convention). Annuity-ordinary assumes payments at the end of each period. The difference is one extra month of compounding — for a 12% SIP over 20 years, annuity-due gives ~1% higher maturity. Both are common; this tool uses the SEBI/AMFI standard.
Not yet — this tool assumes a constant monthly investment. A step-up SIP (where you increase the SIP amount by a fixed % every year) typically delivers 30–50% more at maturity for the same starting amount. We may add step-up modelling in a future version.
