A Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) in mutual funds is one of the easiest ways to build wealth over time. Instead of putting in a lump sum, you can invest small amounts regularly. With the power of compounding, your money grows faster, making it a smart option for long-term goals like retirement.
Suppose you want to create a retirement fund of around ₹1 crore in the next 10 years. Let’s assume an average annual return of 12%, you would need to invest ₹44,640 every month through SIP.
This means you invest about ₹53.5 lakh, and the remaining ₹46.4 lakh comes from returns earned through compounding.

If you stay disciplined and invest ₹44,640 per month for 10 years, you can achieve your ₹1 crore retirement goal. While returns may vary depending on market conditions, SIPs remain one of the most reliable and simple ways to secure your financial future. A SIP calculator helps you know your corpus and makes retirement planning hassle-free.
