SIP Calculator: How Investing ₹7,000 Monthly Can Grow to ₹1 Crore Over Time

Building wealth doesn’t always need huge investments. By investing ₹7,000 each month in an equity mutual fund SIP, and earning an average annual return of 12%, you could reach a corpus of ₹1 crore in about 22 years.

The Math Behind ₹1 Crore

• Monthly SIP: ₹7,000
   
• Time Frame: 22 years
   
• Total Investment: ₹18.48 lakh
   
• Estimated Returns: ₹81.52 lakh
   
• Final Corpus: ₹1 crore
   

This growth happens thanks to compounding, where your earnings generate their own returns over time.

Why Starting Early Matters

If you begin at age 25, you could hit ₹1 crore by age 47. But starting at 35 delays the goal to age 57. The earlier you start, the more time your money has to multiply.

Faster Routes to ₹1 Crore

If you invest more monthly, you can reach the goal sooner:

• ₹10,000/month: ~17 years
   
• ₹15,000/month: ~12 years
