What this calculator does not account for

  • Returns are not fixed. Real markets go up and down, so the actual result can be higher or lower.
  • Fees, expense ratios, stamp duty or exit loads, unless you enter them.
  • Tax on the gains, which depends on your country, income and how long you hold.

How this is calculated

Formula: SIP future value, solved for the payment

SIP =target ÷ { [(1 + i)^n − 1] ÷ i × (1 + i) }

What the symbols mean

  • targetThe goal, raised by inflation for the years if you enter a rate.
  • iMonthly return: yearly return ÷ 12.
  • nNumber of monthly instalments.

Good to know

  • Leave inflation at 0 if your goal is already in future rupees.
