A ₹1 crore corpus is a common long-term goal — retirement, child education or financial freedom. Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) in mutual funds is one of the simplest ways to build wealth with discipline.
What is SIP?
SIP means investing a fixed amount every month in a mutual fund. You benefit from rupee-cost averaging and the power of compounding over time.
How much SIP for ₹1 crore?
It depends on:
- Expected return (historical equity funds often assumed 10–12% p.a. for long term — not guaranteed)
- Time horizon (years you can stay invested)
- Step-up (increasing SIP yearly helps reach goal faster)
Rough illustration at 12% p.a.:
- 20 years → about ₹10,000/month SIP needed
- 15 years → about ₹18,000–20,000/month
- 25 years → about ₹5,300/month
Always use a calculator with your exact numbers — small changes in return or tenure make a big difference.
SIP formula (concept)
Future value of SIP uses compound interest on each monthly instalment. Manual calculation is tedious; a SIP calculator gives instant results for any amount, rate and tenure.
Planning tips
- Start early — time matters more than timing the market.
- Increase SIP when salary grows (step-up SIP).
- Review funds yearly; stay diversified.
- Do not stop SIP in market falls — that is when units cost less.
