What this calculator does

A SIP calculator is a simple calculator that helps investors estimate the returns on their mutual fund SIP investments made at regular intervals. SIP investments in mutual funds have become a popular choice, especially among long-term investors. These mutual fund SIP calculators provide an estimated value of your investment based on factors like monthly contribution, time period, and expected rate of return. However, a SIP calculator does not account for elements such as exit load or expense ratio, as actual returns may vary. This SIP calculator shows the expected maturity amount and wealth gain for your monthly SIP, giving you a clear idea of potential returns before you invest.

How it is calculated

FV = P \times \frac{[(1 + r)^n - 1]}{r} \times (1 + r)

Where P = Monthly SIP amount, r = Monthly rate of return (annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100), n = Total number of monthly investments

Worked example

You invest ₹5,000 per month for 10 years through SIP at an expected annual return of 12%

Monthly rate of return (r) = 12% ÷ 12 ÷ 100 = 0.01, Total number of months (n) = 10 × 12 = 120

Estimated maturity value: ₹11.6 lakh (Total investment: ₹6 lakh, Wealth gain: ₹5.6 lakh)

  • Rupee cost averaging: Buy more units when prices are low, fewer when high
  • Removes timing risk - no need to time the market
  • Power of compounding works best with long tenure (10+ years)
  • Can increase SIP amount annually (step-up SIP) for better wealth creation
  • Minimum SIP amount is typically ₹500; can be paused or stopped anytime

Tax and compliance notes

  • Equity mutual funds: LTCG at 12.5% (exempt up to ₹1.25 lakh/year), STCG at 20%
  • Each SIP installment treated as separate investment for tax purposes
  • FIFO (First In First Out) method used for taxation on redemption
  • Holding period calculated separately for each installment
