Frequently Asked Questions

How are SIP returns calculated?

Each monthly instalment compounds at the expected monthly rate for the time it stays invested. The calculator uses the standard future-value-of-annuity formula: FV = P × ((1+i)^n − 1)/i × (1+i), where i is the monthly rate and n the number of instalments.

What return should I assume?

Long-term equity mutual funds in India have historically averaged roughly 10–14% per year, but past performance doesn't guarantee future returns. Try a conservative and an optimistic rate to see the range.

Is SIP better than lumpsum?

SIP spreads your purchase across market ups and downs (rupee-cost averaging) and suits regular income. A lumpsum invested early can earn more if markets rise steadily. Use the toggle above to compare both for the same total amount.
