How Does SIP Investment Grow?

Want to know how your SIP investment will grow if you invest a certain amount monthly for a specific period of time? We will explain you with an example.

SIP Calculator or SIP Return Calculator

SIP calculators usually take inputs such as the SIP investment amount(goal) one seeks to invest, the number of years of investing required, expected inflation rates (one needs to account for this!) and expected returns. Hence, one can calculate the SIP returns required to achieve a goal!

Let’s suppose, if you invest INR 10,000 for 10 years, see how your SIP investment grows-

Monthly Investment: INR 10,000

Investment Period: 10 years

Total Amount Invested: INR 12,00,000

Long-term Growth Rate (approx.): 15%

Expected Returns as per sip calculator: INR 27,86,573

Net Profit: INR 15,86,573 (Absolute Return= 132.2%)

The above calculations show that if you invest INR 10,000 monthly for 10 years (a total of INR 12,00,000) you will earn INR 27,86,573, which means the net profit you make is INR 15,86,573. Isn’t it great!
