SIP Calculator
An SIP or Systematic Investment Plan is a mode of investing in mutual funds, where a predetermined amount is invested at regular intervals (weekly, monthly, or quarterly). It encourages disciplined saving while offering the dual benefits of rupee cost averaging (due to market fluctuations) and the power of compounding.
The SIP calculator helps you estimate the returns that you can accumulate on your monthly investments over a specified period.
What is SIP Calculator?
An SIP calculator is an easy-to-use online tool that helps investors determine the potential returns on mutual fund investments through SIP. It also provides guidance on the monthly investment required to meet a future financial goal. However, actual returns may vary based on market conditions, and investors should use the results as an estimate. Additionally, SIP calculators do not consider factors like entry and exit loads, if applicable.
Using an SIP calculator is very simple and individuals need to input three variables. The monthly investment amount, time horizon, and expected returns. The calculator then automatically computes the estimated amount that may be accumulated over the investment period.
How to Calculate SIP Returns - Example
Let us understand with an example. Assume the monthly SIP instalment is INR 15,000 invested for a period of 15 years and expected returns are 12% per annum. The total investment is INR 27 lakhs and the investment value after 15 years would be INR 75,68,640.
You can adjust these inputs to estimate returns for different investment amounts, durations, or expected returns.
Benefits of Using SIP Return Calculator
Since mutual fund returns are not guaranteed, investors may find it challenging to estimate the growth of their investments or determine how much they need to invest to meet future financial goals. The SIP calculator addresses these challenges with the following benefits:
Estimates future value of investments
Saves time by eliminating complex manual calculations
Easy and user-friendly interface
Free and unlimited access for all users
How to Use SIP Calculator?
It is very simple to use the SIP Plan Calculator from Aditya Birla Sun Life Mutual Fund.
You just need to enter the amount which you want to invest per month, the expected rate of returns and the number of years for which you want to remain invested.
After you input the values, our SIP calculator will show the estimated total investment value and the total invested amount after completion of your investment tenure.
How Does SIP Calculator Work?
Online calculators have eliminated the need to conduct complex calculations to determine potential returns on SIP investments. However, being aware on how these numbers work is always beneficial and brings higher confidence to your investment strategies. The formula used to calculate SIP returns is
FV = P*{[(1+r) (n-1)]/r}*(1+r)
Where:
FV = Future Value
P = Periodic Contributions
r = Expected rate of return
n = Number of periodic contributions
Let us understand the above formula with an example. Assume you start a monthly SIP of INR 10000 for a five-year period and expected rate of return is 12%. The formula would be as below:
FV = 10000*{[(1+0.01) (60-1)/0.01]}*(1+0.01)
r is 0.01 as the expected rate of return is 12% per annum, which translates into 1% per month.
