What Is This Tool?

This SIP calculator estimates the future value of regular monthly investments made through a Systematic Investment Plan. It applies a compound interest formula with monthly compounding to help investors project the growth of their mutual fund or other investment contributions over time.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter your monthly investment amount (P)
  • Provide the expected annual rate of return; the tool calculates the monthly rate (r) automatically
  • Input the total duration in months or years to determine the number of contributions (n)
  • Click the calculate button to view the future value (FV) of your SIP investment
  • Review the results to understand the potential growth of your investments over time

Key Features

  • Calculates SIP future value using a precise compound interest formula
  • Takes into account monthly investment amount, monthly rate of return, and total contributions
  • Provides clear output for long-term investment projections
  • Easy and fast online access without installation
  • Suitable for mutual fund investors, financial planners, and savers

Examples

  • If you invest $200 monthly with an annual return of 12%, over 10 years (120 months), the future value is calculated as: FV = 200 × ((1.01)^120 - 1) / 0.01 × 1.01 ≈ $43,878.40
  • This means your regular monthly SIP contributions can grow to approximately $43,878.40 after 10 years at the assumed return.

Common Use Cases

  • Estimating future value of mutual fund SIP investments
  • Financial planning for retirement through systematic investing
  • Projecting savings for education goals with monthly contributions
  • Wealth creation using regular long-term investments
  • Comparing investment scenarios based on different monthly amounts or returns

Tips & Best Practices

  • Use realistic annual return assumptions based on historical data or expert advice
  • Consider your investment horizon carefully to select the appropriate duration
  • Regularly update your inputs to reflect changes in investment amounts or expected returns
  • Understand that actual returns may fluctuate, so use projections as estimates, not guarantees
  • Use the calculator to compare different SIP strategies before committing

Limitations

  • Assumes a fixed monthly rate of return, which may not reflect real market volatility
  • Does not account for taxes, fees, or inflation that can affect investment outcomes
  • Projections are estimates and actual investment performance may differ significantly
  • Not designed for lump sum or irregular investment calculations
