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.
