What is Step-up SIP?

A systematic investment plan (SIP) is a popular way to invest in mutual fund schemes. When you start an SIP, a predetermined amount is invested in your chosen fund at regular intervals. It is an excellent way to build a disciplined habit of regular savings. SIPs offer dual advantage of rupee cost averaging due to market volatility and power of compounding.

Additionally, you have the option of annually increasing the SIP amount wherein the installment can be increased by a certain percentage each year. After a few years, keeping track of your investments may become tedious and complex and manually estimating the potential returns may be nearly impossible.

A step-up SIP calculator can be beneficial in this situation.
