What is SIP?
SIP (Systematic Investment Plan) is a method of investing a fixed amount in mutual funds at regular intervals — usually monthly. It's one of the most disciplined ways to build wealth over time because it averages out market volatility through rupee-cost averaging.
How Does SIP Work?
When you start a SIP, a fixed amount is auto-debited from your bank account on a chosen date every month and invested in your selected mutual fund. You get units based on the NAV (Net Asset Value) of that day. Over time, your money grows through compounding.
SIP Formula
The future value of a SIP is calculated as: FV = P × ((1+i)^n − 1) ÷ i × (1+i)
Where: P = Monthly investment, i = Monthly rate of return, n = Number of monthly installments.
Example: ₹5,000/month for 10 years at 12%
- Total invested = ₹5,000 × 120 = ₹6,00,000
- Estimated returns = ₹5,61,695
- Total value = ₹11,61,695
Notice how your money more than doubles — that's the power of compounding.
