How This SIP Calculator Works
The calculator uses the transparent method shown on this page: Monthly contributions are compounded at the entered annual return divided by 12. The calculation is performed locally in your browser. Inputs are not sent to a remote calculation service simply to produce the answer.
Before relying on any result, confirm that the inputs use the same units, time period and definition. A calculator can make arithmetic repeatable, but it cannot verify whether the source values were entered correctly. For important financial decisions, compare the result with lender, bank, investment-provider or professional documentation that applies to your situation.
A useful check is to change one input by a small amount and confirm that the answer moves in the direction you expect. This sensitivity check can reveal typing errors and also shows which assumptions have the greatest effect on the result.
How to Use It
- Enter the requested values carefully.
- Select Calculate.
- Review the main result and supporting details together.
- On smaller screens, the result opens immediately as a compact bottom panel, so you do not need to scroll down to find it.
- Use Copy, Share or Save Result Image when you want to keep the answer.
Worked Example
A monthly SIP of 500 over ten years creates 120 regular contributions. With a 12% annual return assumption, the calculator compounds each contribution according to when it enters the investment and shows total invested capital separately from estimated growth.
Common Uses
- Estimate the long-term value of a regular monthly investment.
- Compare beginning- and end-of-month contribution timing.
- Separate total invested amount from projected growth.
- Test contribution and time-horizon scenarios.
How to Interpret the Result
SIP results are highly sensitive to the assumed return and investment period. The projection is best used to compare contribution scenarios, not to promise a future fund value. Try several return assumptions to see a range of possible outcomes.

Important Limitations
Actual market returns vary over time and can be negative. The calculator does not include taxes, fund expenses, transaction costs, skipped installments, step-up contributions or irregular contribution dates.
For financial tools, currency selection changes formatting only and does not perform exchange-rate conversion. Keep source documents when the result is used for a decision, comparison or record.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a SIP?
A systematic investment plan is a regular contribution approach commonly used for recurring investments.
Why does contribution timing matter?
A contribution made at the beginning of a month is invested for one extra month compared with an end-of-month contribution.
Is the projected return guaranteed?
No. The annual return is only the assumption entered for the calculation.
