SIP Calculator with Step-up & Inflation

Returns are an assumption, not a promise — try a cautious and an optimistic rate. The inflation-adjusted figure shows what the corpus would buy today.

How it's calculated

  • Each month: value = (value + instalment) × (1 + i), with i = annual return ÷ 12 ÷ 100
  • Without step-up this equals FV = P × ((1 + i)ⁿ − 1) ÷ i × (1 + i)
  • Inflation-adjusted value = FV ÷ (1 + inflation)^years

Worked example

₹10,000 a month for 10 years at 12% → about ₹23.2 lakh.

Assumptions and limits

  • Constant return every month.
  • Instalment invested at the start of each month.
  • Step-up applied once a year.

Common questions

Why do other SIP calculators show slightly different numbers?

Some use a monthly rate of annual ÷ 12 (as here), others use the compound-equivalent (1 + annual)^(1/12) − 1, and some assume end-of-month investment. Differences of 1–3% are normal.
