Years to the goal15 years

Monthly SIP you need₹19,819

Growth₹64.33 L

How it works

The calculator works the SIP formula backwards: it finds the monthly amount that grows to your target in the time you have.

Formula: SIP = Target ÷ ([((1 + i)^n − 1) ÷ i] × (1 + i)), where i is the yearly return ÷ 12 and n the number of months.

Questions

How much SIP do I need for ₹1 crore in 15 years?

About ₹19,819 a month at 12% a year.

Should the target include inflation?

Yes, if the goal is a cost in the future. Use the inflation calculator first to find what today’s cost will be, then plan for that.

Are SIP returns guaranteed?

No. A mutual fund’s return depends on the market, and past returns don’t promise future ones. The calculator shows what a steady yearly return would give, so you can compare amounts and time.
