SIP Calculator

A Systematic Investment Plan or SIP calculator is a financial tool used to calculate the wealth you can create by investing in SIP mutual funds. A SIP calculator is basically going to measure compound interest.

What Is A SIP Calculator?

A Systematic Investment Plan or SIP calculator is a financial tool used to calculate the wealth you can create by investing in SIP mutual funds. A SIP calculator is basically going to measure compound interest.

It is in the simplest words a compound interest calculator. Investments like mutual funds go through periods of ups and downs based on the state of the market and the stocks or bonds in their portfolio.

A SIP allows you to invest across these periods of ups and downs in the market. This leads to a phenomenon called rupee cost averaging where a SIP allows you to:

Buy more units when the market is down
Buy fewer units when the markets are high  

In the process, you may end up getting better returns than someone who just invested a lump sum in either the up or down market. This is reflected in the SIP returns.

How Does A SIP Calculator Online Work?

An online SIP calculator ensures that you don’t have to pick up a pen and paper (or Excel sheet) to use the SIP returns formula. Instead, it uses the preloaded formula to help you visualise your returns.

Parameters Used

  1. Investment tenure
  2. Expected rate of return
  3. Investment frequency

Formula to calculate SIP

M = P × ({[1 + i]^n – 1} ) × (1 + i)/i

  • M - Estimated return amount
  • P : Monthly investment amount
  • n : Number of SIP payments
  • i : Periodic rate of interest.
