How This Calculation Works
A Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) enables regular monthly investing into market-linked mutual funds. By investing on a fixed date each month, you benefit from Rupee Cost Averaging — accumulating more units when markets dip and fewer units when markets rise. Compounding returns multiply your wealth exponentially as tenure lengthens.
Standard Indian FormulaFuture Value M = P × [((1 + i)^n − 1) ÷ i] × (1 + i), where P = Monthly investment, i = Monthly return rate (Annual return ÷ 12 ÷ 100), and n = Total months.
