SIP Calculator

The SIP calculator is a useful tool that will help you calculate the returns on investments in investment tools like mutual funds. SIP or Systematic Investment Plan is the process of investing a fixed amount of money in regular intervals in instruments like mutual funds. The intervals at which you can invest money can be a weekly, monthly and quarterly basis

How Does an SIP Work?

After you apply for an SIP plan, a fixed amount of money is deducted automatically from your bank account and the same amount gets invested in your chosen financial instrument (usually mutual funds). Based on the Net Asset Value (NAV) of the chosen instrument, the number of units of the instrument (equivalent to the amount) will be allocated to you. The entire process of money deduction to the allocation of the purchased units is done in a single day.

When your chosen amount is deducted from your bank account, the equivalent units are added to your account as per the market rate. Every time you invest, the reinvested amount becomes bigger and bigger and along with it your returns on those investments. Let us understand how SIPs work with the help of an example. We will also discuss the formulae to calculate the value of your SIP investment.

SIP Calculator Formula

SIP Calculator Formula

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

Where:

M is the amount you receive upon maturity.

P is the amount you invest at regular intervals.

n is the number of payments you have made.

i is the periodic rate of interest.

Suppose you want to invest INR 100 for 24 months at a periodic interest rate of 10%, then the monthly return would be 0.004%. (10/100 × 24).

Plugging in the values:

M = 100 × ({[1 +0.004]^24 – 1} / 0.004) × (1 + 0.004)

So, M = 2523.76.

However, you must be aware of the fact that SIP interest fluctuates as per market conditions. The estimated return might be more or less than your assumptions based on the then market conditions.
