SIP Calculator Formula

The SIP calculator uses the future value of annuity formula:

Where:

• FV = Future Value (Maturity Amount)
• P = Monthly Investment Amount
• r = Monthly Rate of Return (Annual Rate ÷ 12)
• n = Total Number of Months (Years × 12)

This formula accounts for compounding, where returns are reinvested and generate additional returns over time.

SIP vs Lump Sum Investment

SIP (Systematic Investment Plan):

• Invest fixed amount monthly (e.g., ₹5,000 per month)
• Reduces impact of market volatility through rupee cost averaging
• Disciplined approach to investing
• Suitable for salaried individuals with regular income
• Lower initial investment requirement

Lump Sum Investment:

• Invest entire amount at once (e.g., ₹6,00,000 in one go)
• Higher potential returns if market timing is right
• Requires large capital upfront
• Higher risk if market falls immediately after investment
• Suitable for those with large surplus funds

Both approaches have their merits. SIP is generally recommended for beginners and those with regular income, while lump sum can be beneficial when you have a large amount and market conditions are favorable.
