SIP Calculator - Systematic Investment Plan Calculator
A systematic investment plan, or SIP, is a way to invest a fixed amount in mutual funds at regular intervals. A SIP calculator helps you estimate the future value of those investments using a projected annual return and investment duration.
What is a SIP calculator?
A SIP calculator gives an approximate maturity value for regular mutual fund investments. It shows the total amount invested, estimated returns, and total value at the end of the selected tenure. The result is an estimate, because actual mutual fund returns depend on market movement and scheme-specific factors.
How can a SIP return calculator help you?
- It helps you decide how much to invest every month.
- It shows the total amount you may invest over the selected period.
- It estimates potential returns and total maturity value.
- It lets you compare SIP and lumpsum investing assumptions quickly.
How does a SIP calculator work?
The standard SIP formula is:
Here, M is the maturity amount, P is the periodic investment, i is the periodic return rate, and n is the number of instalments. This calculator converts the annual return to an effective monthly return before estimating SIP value.
How to use this SIP calculator
- Select SIP or Lumpsum mode.
- Enter your monthly investment or one-time investment amount.
