How SIP Works - Complete Guide

Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) is a disciplined way of investing in mutual funds. Instead of investing a large lump sum, you invest a fixed amount regularly (usually monthly) into a mutual fund scheme. This approach offers several advantages including rupee cost averaging, power of compounding, and reduced market timing risk.

SIP Calculation Formula

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

Where:

• FV = Future Value of investment

• P = Monthly SIP amount

• r = Expected monthly return rate (Annual return / 12 / 100)

• n = Total number of payments (Years × 12)

SIP Calculation Example

Let's see how ₹10,000 monthly SIP grows:

  • Monthly SIP Amount: ₹10,000.00
  • Investment Period: 15 years (180 months)
  • Expected Annual Return: 12%
  • Monthly Return Rate: 12% / 12 = 1% or 0.01
  • Calculation:
  • FV = 10,000 × [(1.01)^180 - 1] / 0.01 × 1.01
  • FV = 10,000 × [5.995 - 1] / 0.01 × 1.01
  • Total Invested: ₹18,00,000.00
  • Wealth Gained: ₹31,96,777.00
  • Future Value: ₹49,96,777.00
