Calculate your SIP maturity value, total returns, and year-by-year growth. Free SIP returns calculator for Indian mutual fund investors.
DETAILS
This section explains what the calculator does, what goes into the result, and how to interpret the output so you can apply it confidently.
This calculator turns a few key inputs into a clear output you can act on — a number that traders and investors commonly use for planning and decision-making.
Use it to compare scenarios quickly and to understand the trade-offs behind the final result.
Treat the output as a planning number. Small changes in inputs (time, rate, price, quantity, risk, or cashflows) can change the outcome meaningfully — so keep assumptions realistic.
If the tool returns multiple outputs, focus on the ones that drive decisions (e.g., net result, breakeven, or risk-adjusted value), not just the biggest number.

FAQ
For equity mutual funds, 10-12% p.a. is a reasonable historical average for long-term planning (10+ years). For debt funds, use 6-7%. For ELSS funds, 10-12%. For index funds tracking Nifty 50, 11-13% has been the historical 10-20 year average. Always use conservative estimates for planning.
Neither is universally better. SIP benefits from rupee-cost averaging — you buy more units when markets are low. Lumpsum is better if you invest exactly at market bottoms. For most retail investors without market timing skill, SIP reduces risk and removes the need to time the market.
Missing one SIP is not catastrophic — you just miss that month's investment. However, consistent SIP without gaps is what creates wealth. Even skipping 2-3 months per year over 15 years can cost 8-10% of final corpus due to missed compounding at key growth points.
Most mutual funds allow SIP from ₹100 to ₹500 per month. Some ELSS funds start at ₹500/month. Popular platforms like Zerodha Coin, Groww, and Paytm Money allow SIPs from ₹100. Starting small and increasing yearly is better than waiting to have a large amount.
