How much does the return rate change a ₹500 SIP?
Over 25 years, the same SIP grows to ₹4,78,683 at 8% and ₹16,42,037 at 15%. Small differences in return compound into large gaps over long periods.

Staying invested 5 more years raises the value to ₹17,64,957 at 12% — ₹8,16,139 more, while you invest only ₹30,000 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.
