How much does the return rate change a ₹500 SIP?
Over 15 years, the same SIP grows to ₹1,74,173 at 8% and ₹3,38,432 at 15%. Small differences in return compound into large gaps over long periods.

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.
