How to use Mutual Fund SIP Calculator

On MutualMint (calculator-sip.com), this SIP calculator helps mutual fund investors projecting SIP maturity values. Mutual fund SIP returns, corpus projection, and lumpsum comparison. Educational SIP return estimates for mutual fund planning.

How SIP returns are estimated

A Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) invests a fixed amount at regular intervals—usually monthly—in mutual funds. Returns compound as each installment stays invested.

Future value of a monthly SIP is commonly estimated with: FV = P × [((1 + i)^n − 1) / i] × (1 + i), where P is the monthly investment, i is the monthly expected return, and n is the number of months.

Worked example

Investing ₹10,000 per month for 15 years at an assumed 12% annual return can grow into a multi-lakh corpus; actual market returns vary year to year.

Switch between SIP and lumpsum in the tool to compare disciplined monthly investing versus a one-time investment for the same horizon.

Practical SIP planning tips

Align SIP amount with surplus income you can continue through market ups and downs. Increase the SIP when income rises (or use a Step Up SIP).

Assumed returns are not guarantees. Use conservative rates for goal planning and review asset allocation as goals approach.

Mutual fund SIP vs lumpsum timing

SIPs reduce timing risk through rupee-cost averaging; lumpsum can help when you already have idle cash and a long horizon.

Use the SIP/lumpsum toggle above to compare both paths with the same assumed return and years.

For long-term goals (5+ years), equity mutual funds (large-cap, mid-cap, or diversified) are ideal as they offer higher growth potential. For short-term goals (1-3 years), debt or hybrid funds are safer. Use our calculator to estimate returns for different fund types and choose based on your risk tolerance and goals.
