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.

Important Statutory & Regulatory Notes
- •Illustrative Benchmark: Mutual funds are market-linked instruments. Past performance (e.g. 12% p.a. historical equity benchmark) does not guarantee future returns.
- •SEBI Regulatory Notice: Mutual fund investments are subject to market risks; read all scheme related documents carefully.
- •Taxation of Gains: Equity mutual fund Long-Term Capital Gains (LTCG) above ₹1.25 Lakh per financial year are taxed at 12.5% (Finance Act 2024). Short-term gains (<=12 months) are taxed at 20%.
- •Inflation Consideration: For long horizons (15–30 years), factor in real post-inflation purchasing power.
