SIP returns

What does a monthly SIP grow into?

Project a monthly investment forward and see how much of the final corpus is your money versus compounding.

Indian equity funds have returned roughly 11–13% over long periods. Anything above 15% is optimistic.

What it does not account for

  • Exit load, which most equity schemes charge on units redeemed within a year.
  • Capital gains tax. Long-term equity gains above ₹1.25 lakh a year are taxed at 12.5%.
  • The expense ratio, if you enter a gross return figure rather than a net one.
  • Sequence of returns. Real markets deliver the same average through a very different path, and the path is what tests you.

Mutual fund investments are subject to market risks. Read all scheme related documents carefully. Outputs here are illustrations based on the assumptions you set, not projections of any scheme’s performance.

A number is not a plan.

The calculator tells you the size of the gap. Closing it takes a scheme selection, an allocation and a review schedule.
