To achieve long-term financial goals, it’s important to invest consistently through a SIP (Systematic Investment Plan). When you start early, your returns get more time to grow. The profits earned in the early years become the new principal later, helping your money grow faster through compounding.
Before planning your SIP, be clear about your target amount.
For example, if you need ₹1 crore in the next 15 years, you must start investing the right amount every month based on expected returns.
The monthly SIP you need depends on the annual return your mutual fund investment generates.
Here’s how the numbers change:
| Annual Return | Monthly SIP | Total Investment |
| 12% | ₹20,016 | ₹36.03 lakh |
| 11% | ₹21,993 | ₹39.59 lakh |
| 10% | ₹24,127 | ₹43.43 lakh |
| 9% | ₹26,426 | ₹47.57 lakh |
If your portfolio earns:
As returns go up, the required monthly SIP reduces because your money grows faster.
Since SIP amounts depend on expected returns, it’s important to set a realistic growth rate when planning. Markets fluctuate, so aim for long-term discipline rather than chasing very high returns.

Reaching ₹1 crore in 15 years is absolutely possible with consistent SIPs. The key is to start early, stay disciplined, and choose a return expectation that matches your risk appetite. A small monthly SIP today can grow into a large corpus tomorrow—thanks to the power of compounding.
