Frequently Asked Questions

What will ₹1K/month SIP be worth after 3 years at 8%?

A monthly SIP of ₹1,000 for 3 years at 8% annual returns grows to ₹40,806. You invest ₹36,000 and earn ₹4,806 as returns — a gain of 13.3%.

How is SIP return calculated?

SIP returns are calculated using the compound interest formula: FV = M × [((1 + r)^n − 1) / r] × (1 + r), where M is the monthly amount, r is the monthly rate (annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100), and n is the total months. This accounts for the power of compounding — each month's investment earns returns on itself.

Is 8% return realistic for a SIP?

8% annual returns is very realistic. Indian large-cap equity mutual funds have historically returned 10–14% CAGR over 10+ year periods. Small-cap funds have returned 15–18%+. Past performance doesn't guarantee future results. Use 8% as a planning estimate, not a guarantee.

Yes — a Step-Up SIP (increasing by 10% annually) dramatically accelerates wealth creation. If you start at ₹1,000/month and increase by 10% yearly, your corpus over 3 years will be significantly higher than a fixed ₹1,000 SIP. Most mutual fund platforms support automated step-up SIPs.

What mutual funds are good for medium-term SIP?

For 3-year SIPs, balanced/hybrid funds or large-cap equity funds offer good risk-adjusted returns. Popular categories: Index Funds (Nifty 50/Nifty Next 50), Flexi-cap Funds, ELSS (tax-saving). Consult a SEBI-registered advisor for personalised advice.
