About this calculator

The SIP Calculator helps you Explore contributions, compounding and the difference time can make. Enter your own values to get an instant result, then use the graph and table to understand how the inputs affect the answer. Calculations run in your browser and are not sent to CalcifyNow.

How the calculation works

Enter Monthly investment, Expected annual return, Investment period, Monthly contribution timing, Rate compounding. The calculator validates the inputs and updates the answer, chart and breakdown without sending your values to the server.

Formula and method

For nominal annual rate R and compounding frequency f, the equivalent monthly growth factor is (1 + R/f)^(f/12). The balance grows monthly with contributions at the chosen time. Monthly SIP defaults to R/12. Step-ups apply after each completed year. Fractional periods use the equivalent rate. Returns are hypothetical, not guaranteed; no fees or taxes are included.

The result is recalculated whenever you change an input. Use consistent units throughout and keep the displayed rounding in mind when comparing with another source.

Worked example

Use the calculator's pre-filled values as a worked example:

  • Monthly investment: ₹10000
  • Expected annual return: 12 %
  • Investment period: 10 years
  • Monthly contribution timing: Beginning of month
  • Rate compounding: Monthly

Change one value at a time to see how it affects the result, graph and table.

How to interpret the result

Treat projected growth as a scenario, not a promise. Compare contributions with estimated growth and test lower and higher assumptions.

Common uses
