A Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) enables investors to build wealth over time by investing a fixed amount at regular intervals.
Estimating how much to invest at a given age to achieve a target corpus is crucial for effective financial planning.
Using a SIP calculator provides a clear projection of outcomes based on the investment amount, tenure, and expected annual returns.
For a 30-year-old investor, a monthly SIP of ₹10,000 illustrates how these factors combine to reach a ₹50 lakh corpus.
A SIP calculator generates projections using the monthly investment amount, investment duration, and an assumed annual return rate.
These inputs help estimate the future value of the investment and the expected returns component. Calculations are indicative and based on past performance trends, not guaranteed outcomes.

The projection shows that a ₹10,000 monthly SIP, assuming a 12% annual return, may achieve a ₹50 lakh corpus in 15 years.
