How a ₹25,000 Monthly SIP for 5 Years Could Grow Over 30 Years Without Additional Investment

Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs) are a widely used method for building capital gradually through mutual funds. Investors contribute a fixed amount at regular intervals, which can be adjusted over time based on financial goals.

In this scenario, we explore the potential outcomes of investing ₹25,000 every month for 5 years, followed by a period with no additional contributions, assuming the investment remains untouched and continues to grow under fixed return assumptions.

SIP for 5 Years: Estimated Investment and Outcome

A SIP allows investors to invest consistently, regardless of market conditions. Here’s how a ₹25,000 monthly SIP over 5 years may perform at an assumed annual return of 12%.

• Monthly SIP: ₹25,000
• Total Investment Period: 5 years
• Total Investment: ₹15,00,000
• Estimated Capital Gains: ₹5,62,159
• Estimated Corpus After 5 Years: ₹20,62,159

Once the contributions stop after 5 years, the accumulated corpus can continue to stay invested.
