Direct Summary: SIP Comparison: ₹5,000 vs ₹10,000 Per Month for 15 Years at 12%
Doubling your SIP from ₹5,000 to ₹10,000/month exactly doubles both your investment and the corpus — but the absolute return difference is striking.
Future 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.
- Key Takeaway: ₹5,000/month → ₹25.2 Lakh; ₹10,000/month → ₹50.5 Lakh. Doubling SIP exactly doubles the end corpus.
- Key Rule: Comparison amounts: ₹5,000 and ₹10,000
- Key Rule: Expected return: 12% p.a.

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.
