What is SIP?

A Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) is a facility offered by mutual funds to investors to invest in a disciplined manner. Unlike a lumpsum investment, SIP allows you to invest fixed amounts at regular intervals (usually monthly). This approach helps in averaging out the cost of investment (Rupee Cost Averaging) and instills financial discipline.

Formula Used

The VIP Tool SIP calculator uses the following formula:

FV = P × [ (1 + i)^n - 1 ] / i × (1 + i)

Where:

FV: Future Value
P: Monthly Investment Amount
i: Periodic Rate of Interest (Annual Rate / 12 / 100)
n: Total number of payments (Years × 12)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Does this calculator guarantee returns?

No. The SIP calculator provides estimates based on the expected rate of return you input. Mutual fund investments are subject to market risks, and actual returns may vary.

2. What is a good return rate for SIP?

Historically, equity mutual funds in India have delivered 10% to 15% annual returns over the long term (5-10+ years). Debt funds typically offer lower but more stable returns (6% to 8%).

3. Can I change the investment amount later?

Yes, most mutual funds allow you to increase or decrease your SIP amount (Step-up SIP), or you can stop and start a new SIP.
