₹5,000 SIP at 25 vs 35: See the Difference by Age 55

When it comes to building long-term wealth, the earlier you start investing, the more powerful the results, thanks to the magic of compounding. Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs) offer a disciplined and accessible way to grow your money over time. To highlight the impact of starting early, let's compare two individuals: one who begins a ₹5,000 monthly SIP at age 25, and another who starts the same amount at 35. Both invest consistently until they turn 55. The difference in their corpus may surprise you.

Age 25 vs Age 35: Huge Difference in Returns

Starting a SIP of ₹5,000 per month at the age of 25, with a total investment of ₹18,00,000, can potentially grow to an estimated return of around ₹1.58 crore, resulting in a total investment value of approximately ₹1.76 crore over time.

On the other hand, beginning the same SIP amount at age 35, with a total investment of ₹12,00,000, is projected to yield a much lower estimated return of about ₹37.95 lakh, culminating in a total value of roughly ₹49.95 lakh.

This clearly illustrates the power of starting early, as the longer investment horizon significantly amplifies returns through compounding.
