What is a Systematic Investment Plan (SIP)?
Index funds track a market index like Nifty 50 or Sensex with lower expense ratios than active funds. This calculator estimates long-term SIP corpus using your return assumption — typically 10–12% for broad equity indices over long periods, though past performance varies.
- Regular investments — invest a fixed amount at set intervals instead of one large lump sum.
- Rupee cost averaging — buy more units when prices are low and fewer when prices are high.
- Disciplined approach — automated contributions build a consistent saving habit.
- Compounding benefits — returns on returns accelerate long-term wealth creation.
