Calculator

What to check before you decide

    How to use this calculator

    Use the result as an educational planning illustration. Change the assumptions and compare scenarios rather than relying on one number.

    Should I compare multiple scenarios?

    Yes. Interest rates, returns, inflation, fees, taxes and timelines can materially change the result.

    Are the results guaranteed?

    No. Actual outcomes depend on the product terms, market conditions, taxes, fees, timing and your individual circumstances.

    Can this replace professional advice?

    No. Use it as an educational tool and verify important financial decisions with the relevant institution or qualified professional.

    Important: This calculator is for educational illustration only. Actual outcomes may differ.

    Use SIP for a decision, not just a number

    • Test 8%, 10%, 12% and 14% scenarios instead of relying on one return assumption.
    • Add a step-up to see how increasing contributions can change the outcome.
    • Compare the future value with the future cost of your goal after inflation.
    • Do not treat an assumed market return as guaranteed.
    Best practice: Start with the goal amount and time horizon, then work backwards to the required monthly contribution.

    What a SIP calculator is really showing

    A SIP calculator is a projection tool. It applies an assumed rate to a sequence of contributions. It does not predict the actual path of a mutual fund or equity market.

    SEBI's investor calculator similarly describes SIP outputs as illustrations and notes that market returns are not fixed or predictable.

    The four variables that matter most

    VariableWhy it matters
    Monthly investmentDetermines how much capital you contribute.
    TimeLonger periods can give compounding more time to work.
    Return assumptionHigher assumptions increase projections but also increase uncertainty.
    Step-upIncreasing contributions can align investments with income growth.

    Important individual checks

    • Emergency fund first: do not invest money that may be needed immediately.
    • Match the investment horizon to the goal.
    • Use realistic return assumptions and stress-test the result.
    • Consider inflation: a ₹50 lakh goal today may cost substantially more in the future.
    • For actual fund selection, evaluate risk, costs, portfolio, suitability and your own horizon separately.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Does SIP guarantee 12%?

    No. The percentage is an assumption used for illustration.

    What is a step-up SIP?

    It increases the contribution periodically, such as annually, rather than keeping the monthly amount constant.

    Why is my actual mutual fund return different?

    Markets fluctuate. The timing and amount of each contribution and the actual NAV path determine the realised result.
