A small increase in your monthly SIP contribution may not seem significant today, but over a long investment horizon, it can make a noticeable difference to your final corpus. Thanks to the power of compounding, can adding just ₹50 more per month make a meaningful difference to your wealth over time?
Using the SIP Calculator, here is an illustration of how increasing a monthly SIP from ₹5,000 to ₹5,050 could impact your investment after 25 years, assuming an annual return of 12%.
Particulars | ₹5,000 Monthly SIP | ₹5,050 Monthly SIP |
Monthly SIP | ₹5,000 | ₹5,050 |
Investment Period | 25 Years | 25 Years |
Expected Annual Return | 12% | 12% |
Total Amount Invested | ₹15,00,000 | ₹15,15,000 |
Estimated Returns | ₹79,88,175 | ₹80,68,057 |
Estimated Corpus | ₹94,88,175 | ₹95,83,057 |
Based on the above illustration:
Additional monthly investment: ₹50
Extra amount invested over 25 years: ₹15,000
Increase in estimated corpus: ₹94,882
Although the additional investment is only ₹15,000 over the entire 25-year period, the estimated corpus increases by nearly ₹95,000, highlighting the long-term impact of compounding.
Increasing your SIP whenever your income rises can help accelerate wealth creation over the long term. Even modest increases in monthly contributions can generate higher potential returns because every additional investment gets more time to compound.
While actual market returns will vary, maintaining investment discipline and gradually increasing SIP contributions can support long-term financial goals.
A ₹50 increase in your monthly SIP may appear insignificant today, but the illustration shows it could add nearly ₹95,000 to your estimated corpus over 25 years at an assumed 12% annual return.
