Systematic Investment Plan or SIP is a mutual fund facility using which you can invest fixed amounts in a mutual fund scheme at regular intervals e.g. weekly, monthly, quarterly etc through auto-debits from your savings bank account. SIP is one of the most popular ways of investing in mutual funds in India.

What is SIP Calculator?
A SIP calculator is a financial calculator which calculates how much corpus you can accumulate through a SIP over a specified investment tenure assuming a certain rate of return. There are two variants of SIP calculators (a) SIP Returns Calculator (b) Goal Based SIP Calculator

• SIP Returns Calculator: In this SIP calculator, you will enter your monthly SIP investment, your investment tenure (how many years you will invest) and the expected rate of return. The SIP calculator will estimate how much corpus you will accumulate by the end of the investment tenure

• Goal Based SIP Calculator: In this SIP calculator, you will input your financial goal amount (how much money you need to have for your financial goal), your investment tenure (after how many years you need the money for your goal) and the expected rate of return. The SIP calculator will estimate how much you need to invest on a monthly basis to meet your financial goal. Goal Based SIP Calculators may factor effect of inflation on your goals. Examples of Goal Based SIP Calculators in our web portal are Wealth Planner, House Purchase Planner, Child Education Planner, Vacation Savings Planner etc. You can use these calculators for planning different financial goals.

How does SIP Calculators work?
Here we will describe how our SIP returns calculator works. In order understand how SIP calculators work, you should familiarize yourself with the concept of compounding. You may be familiar with two types of interest – simple interest and compound interest. In simple interest, you get interest only on the principal. In compound interest, you get interest on not just the principal but also on accumulated interest. For example, if your principal is Rs 100 and compound interest rate is 6%, then in the first year, you will get Rs 6 as interest. Next year, interest will be calculated on Rs 100 + 6 = Rs 106; so you will get Rs 6.36 as interest. In the following year, interest will be calculated on Rs 106 + 6.36 = Rs 112.36; so you Rs 6.74 as interest. You can see that every year the interest you are getting is increasing; this is because you are earning interest on interest. This is known as compounding.
In mutual funds, you get returns or profits on your investments. When the profits are re-invested you get profit on profits. . The formula of compounding effect for one-time investments is:- FV = P X (1 + r %)n

Where,
FV = Future Value of Investment
P = Investment Amount
r = Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) or annualized return
n = Investment tenure in years

You can think of SIPs as a series of one-time investments. If you are doing monthly SIP of Rs 10,000 for five years, you can think of it as 60 one-time investments of Rs 10,000 each with reducing tenure. The first SIP instalment (Rs 10,000) remains invested for 60 months, the second SIP instalment remains invested for 59 months, the third instalment for 58 months, the fourth instalment for 57 months etc. The formula used by the SIP calculator is:-
FV = P × ({[1 + r] n– 1} / r) × (1 + r)

FV = Future value
P = SIP amount
r = Expected rate of return per frequency period.
n = Number of instalments.

Frequently asked questions

How to use the SIP Calculator?

The SIP Calculator has three inputs – Periodic SIP amount, Investment tenure and expected rate of returns. Enter these inputs based on your requirements. The SIP calculator will calculate how much corpus will be accumulate at the end of the investment tenure

How much SIP amount should I input in the SIP Calculator?

Input the amount you can realistically invest from your regular savings after meeting all your expenses. Do not enter an amount that you will not be able to invest regularly on an ongoing basis. If there is insufficient balance in your bank account on the SIP auto debit date, your SIP transaction will fail.

How much should be expected rate of return in the SIP Calculator?

The expected rate of return depends on the mutual fund scheme you are investing in through SIP. Different mutual fund schemes have different risk / return characteristics depending on the underlying asset class. For example, equity funds are more volatile but have the potential of giving higher returns over long investment horizons. Debt funds are less volatile and give more stable returns, but the returns over long investment tenures are likely to be less than equity funds. The risk return characteristics of hybrid funds are a blend of equity and debt, depending on the asset allocation of the fund.

You should select a mutual fund scheme that is suited for your risk appetite and investment tenure. Equity funds can be suitable for long investment tenures, while debt funds are suitable for short investment tenures. Depending on the risk profile, you enter the expected rate of return e.g. for equities you can enter a higher rate of expected return, for debt you should enter a lower rate of expected return. A higher rate of return will result in the SIP calculator estimating a higher corpus (based on the SIP calculator formula discussed earlier), while your actual returns might be lower. You should enter the expected rate of return after careful consideration of your risk appetite and investment needs. You should consult with your financial advisor, if you need help in understanding risk profile of your investments.

How to use the results of the SIP alculator?

The SIP calculator will tell you whether your planned SIP investments are sufficient to meet your target / financial goal. If you are falling short of your target, you should explore ways of increasing your SIP investment. You should be ready to cut a portion of discretionary spending (if required) in order to meet your financial goals. Once you have planned how much SIP investment you will be making, you should select a mutual fund scheme suitable for your risk appetite and investment needs. DSP Mutual Fund offers a wide range of mutual fund products across different asset classes suited for different risk appetites and investment needs. You should consult with your financial advisor or mutual fund distributor if you need help in understanding which product will be suitable for you. Once you have selected a scheme, you should start your SIP by clicking on the Invest button in the scheme page and following online instructions. You can also take the help of your mutual fund distributor to start your SIP.

What are the things you should keep in mind after starting your SIP?

The most important thing in SIP investments is discipline. You should ensure that you have sufficient balance in your bank account on the SIP date. You should not stop your SIP based on market movements. SIP takes advantage of market volatility through Rupee Cost Averaging. You should not redeem units accumulated through SIP for your short term needs; you should have a separate emergency fund for any unplanned short term expenses. You should always have a long investment horizon for your SIPs.
