A SIP calculator helps investors understand how regular monthly investments can grow over time through the power of compounding. In this example, we look at how a monthly SIP of ₹10,000 may potentially grow into more than ₹1 crore under different assumed annualised return scenarios.
In this case, the monthly SIP amount is ₹10,000. The objective is to understand how many years it may take to cross the ₹1 crore mark under three different assumed return rates.
In the first scenario, the expected annualised return is assumed at 10%. With a monthly SIP of ₹10,000 for 23 years, the total invested amount would be ₹27,60,000.
At this assumed rate of return, the estimated future value of the investment would be ₹1,07,44,287. Out of this, the estimated returns would be ₹79,84,287.
This example shows that even at a moderate assumed return of 10%, a disciplined monthly investment over a long period may help the investment value cross ₹1 crore.
In the second scenario, the expected annualised return is assumed at 12%. Here, the same monthly SIP of ₹10,000 is continued for 21 years.
The total amount invested over this period would be ₹25,20,000. Based on the assumed return, the estimated future value would be ₹1,13,86,742. The estimated returns would be ₹88,66,742.
This scenario highlights how a slightly higher assumed return may reduce the time required to reach the ₹1 crore milestone. Compared with the 10% return scenario, the investment crosses ₹1 crore in a shorter period.
In the third scenario, the expected annualised return is assumed at 15%. With a monthly SIP of ₹10,000 for 18 years, the total invested amount would be ₹21,60,000.
At this assumed return, the estimated future value would be ₹1,10,42,553. The estimated returns would be ₹88,82,553.
