How it's calculated

This SIP calculator uses the standard annuity-due future value formula for monthly installments invested at the beginning of each period. Wealth gained is maturity value minus total amount invested.

FV = P × [((1 + r)^n − 1) / r] × (1 + r); Wealth Gained = FV − (P × n)

Example

Example: SIP Calculator

Inputs

  • Monthly Investment: 5000
  • Expected Annual Return: 12
  • Investment Period Years: 10

Outputs

  • Maturity Value: 1161695.38
  • Total Invested: 600000
  • Wealth Gained: 561695.38

Example: invest 5,000 every month for 10 years at 12% expected annual return. Total invested = 600,000. Estimated maturity ≈ 1,161,695 and wealth gained ≈ 561,695 (illustrative; returns are not guaranteed).

About this calculator

Use this free SIP calculator to estimate the future value of a Systematic Investment Plan. Enter your monthly investment, expected annual return, and tenure to see maturity value, total invested, and wealth gained in seconds—ideal for goal planning in India, Nepal, and other markets that use monthly SIPs.

How to use this SIP return calculator

  1. Enter your monthly investment (for example 5,000).
  2. Enter the expected annual return (%) based on your fund type and risk profile.
  3. Enter the investment period in years.
  4. Click Calculate to view maturity value, total invested, and wealth gained.

SIP maturity calculator: worked example

Suppose you invest 5,000 every month for 10 years with an expected return of 12% per year:

  • Total invested = 5,000 × 120 months = 600,000
  • Estimated maturity value ≈ 1,161,695
  • Estimated wealth gained ≈ 561,695

These figures are illustrative only. Actual SIP returns depend on market performance, expense ratios, taxes, and when units are purchased.

Another scenario: 10,000 per month for 15 years at 12%

  • Total invested = 1,800,000
  • Estimated maturity ≈ 5,045,760
  • Estimated wealth gained ≈ 3,245,760

Longer tenure usually amplifies compounding more than a short burst of higher contributions.

SIP vs lump sum

A monthly SIP calculator models recurring contributions. A lump-sum investment compounds a single amount for the full period. SIPs help with discipline and rupee-cost averaging; lump sum may outperform if markets rise soon after you invest. Compare both with this tool and the compound interest calculator.

Tips to get more from your SIP

  • Match tenure to the goal (education, home, retirement)—avoid redeeming early unless needed.
  • Increase the monthly amount when income rises (a simple step-up approach).
  • Use conservative return assumptions for planning; treat aggressive rates as upside cases only.
  • Review asset allocation yearly; do not react to every short-term market move.

Frequently Asked Questions

It estimates how a Systematic Investment Plan (fixed monthly contributions) can grow using an assumed annual return. Results: maturity value, total invested, wealth gained. Planning only — not a guaranteed NAV.
Future value of an annuity-due (installment at the beginning of each month): FV = P × [((1+r)^n − 1)/r] × (1+r), with r = annual/12, n = years×12. Wealth = FV − P×n. Documented on the SIP page.
No. Expected return is an assumption. Markets, expense ratios, exit loads and taxes change outcomes.
A conservative long-term rate for the fund type (equity vs debt). Do not paste last year’s peak return as a 20-year constant.
This version is a fixed monthly amount. Model a step-up by averaging a higher P or running staged periods.
Lump sum is one deposit (compound-interest calculator). SIP spreads buys (rupee-cost averaging). Neither is “always better.”
5,000/month, 10 years, 12% is the documented illustration (~1,161,695 maturity on 600,000 invested) — illustrative, not a promise.
The (1+r) multiplier is annuity-due (contribution at period start). End-of-month ordinary annuity is slightly lower.
Not subtracted. Net return you type should already be net of fees if you want a tighter plan; tax is extra.
Yes — it is currency-agnostic arithmetic. Nepal SIPs still depend on NEPSE/mutual-fund NAVs, not this formula’s smoothness.
