About This SIP Calculation

Investing ₹500 every month through SIP for 5 years at an expected 15% annual return builds a corpus of ₹44,841. Your total investment of ₹30,000 generates estimated returns of ₹14,841 — a wealth gain of 49.5%. Compounding accelerates sharply in the later years: roughly 32% of the final corpus is created in the last quarter of the investment period. Starting ₹500/month 3 years earlier at the same rate can add over ₹2,700 more to your final corpus. Equity mutual funds at 15% returns fall under LTCG rules — gains above ₹1 lakh per year are taxed at 10% with no indexation benefit. Investing in direct plans rather than regular plans typically saves 0.5–1% annually in expense ratio, compounding to a significant difference over 5 years.

Frequently Asked Questions

A monthly SIP of ₹500 for 5 years at 15% annual returns grows to ₹44,841. You invest ₹30,000 and earn ₹14,841 as returns — a gain of 49.5%.
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.
15% annual returns is achievable but optimistic. 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 15% as a planning estimate, not a guarantee.
Yes — a Step-Up SIP (increasing by 10% annually) dramatically accelerates wealth creation. If you start at ₹500/month and increase by 10% yearly, your corpus over 5 years will be significantly higher than a fixed ₹500 SIP. Most mutual fund platforms support automated step-up SIPs.
For 5-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.
To accumulate ₹1 Crore in 5 years at 15% returns, you need approximately ₹1,11,505/month. The longer your time horizon, the lower the monthly amount needed — this is the power of compounding.
