Everything you need to know about SIP Return Calculator

A Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) is a highly disciplined and powerful approach to investing in mutual funds or ETFs. Instead of trying to time the market with a large lump sum, a SIP allows you to invest a fixed amount regularly (usually monthly), directly from your bank account.

This SIP Calculator helps you visualize the magic of compounding over time. By combining the principles of Rupee Cost Averaging (buying more units when the market is low and fewer when high) with compound interest, SIPs smooth out market volatility and build massive long-term wealth.

How the SIP Formula Works

The mathematical formula used in our calculator is based on the future value of an annuity due. When you input your monthly investment amount, expected annual return, and time horizon, the calculator computes the exponential growth of your money.

For example, investing just $500 a month at a 12% average annual return for 20 years results in a staggering $499,000+ portfolio, despite only investing $120,000 out of pocket. That is the true power of compounding.
