Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Systematic Investment Plan (SIP)?
A SIP allows you to invest a fixed amount regularly (monthly or quarterly) in mutual funds, helping build wealth over time.
What formula is used to calculate SIP returns?
The tool uses the future value of an annuity formula: FV = P * [((1 + i)^n - 1) / i] * (1 + i), where P is the monthly investment, i is the monthly return rate, and n is the number of months.
How accurate are the SIP projections?
The projections assume a constant annual return rate. Actual mutual fund returns vary based on market performance.
Does the calculator factor in inflation?
Our basic calculator shows absolute returns. To account for inflation, you can adjust your expected return rate accordingly.
Is it safe to input my investment plans here?
Yes. All calculations are run locally in your browser, keeping your financial details private.
What expected return rate should I enter?
For equity mutual funds in India, historical long-term returns have ranged from 12% to 15%, while debt funds range from 6% to 8%.

What is rupee cost averaging in SIP?
SIPs allow you to buy more mutual fund units when prices are low and fewer units when prices are high, lowering your average cost per unit over time.
