What is the SIP Calculator?
The KagazKit SIP (Systematic Investment Plan) Calculator helps you project the future value of regular monthly investments in mutual funds or index funds. SIP investing is one of the most popular and disciplined wealth-building strategies in India, allowing you to invest a fixed amount monthly and benefit from rupee cost averaging and the exponential power of compound interest. Our calculator also includes a Step-Up SIP feature, which models annual increases in your monthly contribution — aligning your investment growth with your rising income over time.
How to Use This Tool
- 1Set monthly SIP amount — Use the slider to set your planned monthly investment amount (₹500 to ₹1,00,000).
- 2Set expected return rate — Enter the expected annual return rate based on the fund type — equity funds typically yield 10-15%, debt funds 6-8%.
- 3Set investment duration — Choose how many years you plan to continue investing — longer durations show dramatically higher compounding effects.
- 4Set annual step-up percentage — If you plan to increase your SIP amount each year (e.g., by 10% as your salary grows), set the step-up percentage.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Step-Up SIP?
A Step-Up SIP automatically increases your monthly investment amount by a specific percentage every year. For example, if you start with ₹5,000/month and set a 10% step-up, your SIP becomes ₹5,500 in year 2, ₹6,050 in year 3, and so on. This aligns your investments with your growing income and significantly boosts your final corpus through compounding.
Are the returns shown guaranteed?
No. SIP returns in mutual funds are subject to market risks and volatility. The expected return rate used in this calculator is an estimation based on historical long-term data. Equity mutual funds have historically returned around 10-15% over long periods (10+ years), but past performance does not guarantee future results.
Is this calculator safe to use with my financial data?
Yes, 100% safe. This calculator runs entirely in your web browser using client-side JavaScript. No investment amounts, return rates, or projected figures are ever sent to our servers or stored anywhere. Your financial planning remains completely private.
What is the ideal SIP duration for wealth creation?
The longer the better. Compound interest shows its true power over extended periods. A 10-year SIP will grow well, but a 20-30 year SIP will generate returns that are many multiples of your invested amount. Starting early, even with small amounts, is the key to wealth creation through SIP.
How accurate is this calculator?
The calculator uses standard financial mathematics for compound interest with monthly compounding. While the math is precise, the actual returns from mutual funds will vary based on market performance, fund management, and economic conditions. Use this as a planning tool, not a guarantee.
