Frequently asked questions
What will a ₹1,000 SIP be worth after 20 years?
At an assumed 12% annual return, a ₹1,000 monthly SIP for 20 years grows to about ₹9,99,148. You invest ₹2,40,000 and gain ₹7,59,148 — 4.2× your money.
How much does the return rate change a ₹1,000 SIP?
Over 20 years, the same SIP grows to ₹5,92,947 at 8% and ₹15,15,955 at 15%. Small differences in return compound into large gaps over long periods.
What if I continue the ₹1,000 SIP for 25 years instead?
Staying invested 5 more years raises the value to ₹18,97,635 at 12% — ₹8,98,487 more, while you invest only ₹60,000 extra. That is the power of compounding.
Are SIP returns guaranteed?
No. Equity mutual fund returns depend on the market and can be negative in some years. The figures here assume a constant return and are estimates only. Past returns do not guarantee future results.
How is SIP maturity calculated?
FV = P × ((1 + i)^n − 1) ÷ i × (1 + i), where P is the monthly investment, i the monthly return (annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100) and n the number of months.
