How SIP Works

The SIP Investment Process

  1. 1
    Regular Investment:

    Set up automatic transfers on a fixed date for consistent investing, starting from as low as ₹500 per month.

  2. 2
    Unit Allocation:

    Your investment buys mutual fund units at the current Net Asset Value (NAV), which varies based on market conditions.

  3. 3
    Rupee Cost Averaging:

    Automatically buy more units when prices are low and fewer when high, reducing the average cost per unit over time.

  4. 4
    Compounding Benefits:

    Earn returns on both your invested amount and the previously earned returns, accelerating wealth creation.

SIP vs Lump Sum Investment

SIP Advantages:

  • Lower initial investment requirement (start with ₹500)
  • Market timing risk reduction through averaging
  • Builds disciplined investing habits
  • Flexible investment options and easy modifications
  • Better suited for salaried individuals

Lump Sum Advantages:

  • Potentially higher returns in bullish markets
  • Lower overall transaction costs
  • Immediate full market participation
  • Better for windfall investments
  • More suitable for experienced investors

Understanding SIP Calculations

Basic SIP Calculations

Future Value Formula:

FV = P × ((1 + r)^n - 1) × (1 + r)/r

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

Example Calculation:

For a monthly SIP of ₹10,000, expected return of 12% p.a., over 10 years:
• Monthly rate (r) = 12% ÷ 12 = 1% = 0.01
• Number of months (n) = 10 × 12 = 120
• Total Investment = ₹12,00,000
• Expected Returns ≈ ₹23,00,000

Advanced Calculations

Step-up SIP Formula:

Each year's investment = Previous year's monthly investment × (1 + step-up rate)

Example: ₹10,000 SIP with 10% annual step-up:
Year 1: ₹10,000/month
Year 2: ₹11,000/month
Year 3: ₹12,100/month

Inflation-Adjusted Returns:

Real Return = ((1 + Nominal Return)/(1 + Inflation) - 1) × 100

Example: For 12% return and 6% inflation:
Real Return = ((1 + 0.12)/(1 + 0.06) - 1) × 100 = 5.66%
