Assumptions
- Returns are annualized and compounded based on the selected model.
- Taxes, expense ratios, exit loads, and transaction fees are not included unless stated.
- Future returns can be lower or higher than the assumed rate.
Formula Used
FV = P x [((1 + r)^n - 1) / r] x (1 + r)
P is monthly SIP in rupees, r is monthly expected return, and n is months.
Example SIP in India
- Invest ₹10,000 per month.
- Assume 12% annual return for 10 years.
- Review future value, invested amount, and gains.
Common Mistakes and Limitations

What is SIP Calculator India?
SIP Calculator India answers a specific investment question without opening a spreadsheet. Enter monthly investment, expected annual return, tenure and inflation rate, review the estimate as you type, and open the formula block to see how the result is produced.
It uses INR defaults, Indian number formatting, and India-specific assumptions where relevant.
Inputs explained
Monthly investment
The amount you plan to invest every month, on a fixed date. Supported range: 0 to 5,000,000.
Why it matters: Along with the time period, this is what you actually control — returns are only an assumption.
Expected annual return
The average yearly return you want to assume, before tax and fees. Supported range: 0 to 60.
Why it matters: This is an assumption, not a promise — small changes compound into large differences over long periods.
Model a range rather than one figure, and check what a lower return does to the answer.
Tenure
How many years the money stays invested before you need it. Supported range: 0 to 50.
Why it matters: Time in the market compounds returns, so the final value is very sensitive to this.
Match it to the goal — a school fee in 6 years, retirement in 25.
Inflation rate
The yearly rise in prices you want to assume, used to show the result in today's money. Supported range: 0 to 20.
Why it matters: Without it, a large future number can look better than it will actually feel.
