What is an SIP?
A Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) is an investment vehicle offered by mutual funds to investors, allowing them to invest small amounts periodically instead of lump sums. The frequency of investment is usually weekly, monthly or quarterly.
Formula Used
The SIP calculator uses the future value formula for an annuity due:
- P = Monthly SIP amount
- r = Monthly return rate (Annual Rate / 12 / 100)
- n = Number of months
Example Calculation
If you invest ₹ 10,000 per month for 10 years at an expected return of 12% per annum:
- Total Investment: ₹ 12,00,000
- Estimated Return: ₹ 11,23,391 approx
- Future Value: ₹ 23,23,391 approx
