See what consistent investing actually adds up to.
The pitch for a Systematic Investment Plan is always some version of 'small amounts add up' — but seeing the actual number a modest monthly investment turns into over ten or twenty years — with compounding actually doing the work — is far more convincing than the pitch alone, and far more useful for actually planning. The SIP Calculator projects your final corpus, total returns, and CAGR from a monthly investment amount, an expected return rate, and a time period, with optional annual step-up (increasing your contribution each year) and inflation adjustment so the final number reflects real purchasing power, not just a raw total. It's built for anyone planning a long-term investment — evaluating whether a monthly amount is actually enough for a goal, or comparing how a longer time horizon or a modest yearly increase changes the outcome more than people usually expect. The step-up option in particular is worth experimenting with: a contribution that grows by even 5-10% a year, matched loosely to real income growth, tends to close the gap toward a target corpus far faster than an equivalent lump-sum increase in the base monthly amount.
FV = P × [ ((1 + i)ⁿ − 1) / i ] × (1 + i)
This is the standard SIP future value formula for a flat (non-step-up) monthly investment, assuming each contribution is made at the start of the month. When you set an annual step-up, the calculator instead simulates month by month, increasing the contribution by your step-up percentage at the start of each new year — the results match this formula exactly when step-up is 0%.
Investing $500 every month at an expected 12% annual return, for 15 years, no step-up:
