Understanding Your Investment Returns
This calculator projects your returns using compound interest, where your earnings generate their own earnings over time. The power of compounding means that even small regular investments can grow into substantial wealth over long periods. For example, investing just Rs 5,000 per month at 12% expected returns for 25 years can grow to over Rs 1 crore — of which only Rs 15 lakh is your own money and Rs 85 lakh is compounding returns. The key factors that determine your final corpus are: the amount invested, the rate of return, the duration of investment, and the frequency of compounding.
Important Considerations
Past returns do not guarantee future performance, especially for market-linked instruments like mutual funds and equities. The returns shown are estimates based on the rate you enter. Equity investments carry market risk but have historically delivered 12-15% CAGR over 15+ year periods in India. Fixed income options like PPF (7.1%) and FD (6-7.5%) offer lower but more predictable returns. Diversifying across asset classes — equity, debt, gold, and real estate — reduces overall portfolio risk while optimizing returns for your risk tolerance.

When will Rs 7000 SIP reach Rs 50 lakh?
At 12% returns Rs 7000/month reaches Rs 50 lakh in approximately 17.5 years. At 15% returns it reaches Rs 50 lakh in about 15 years. With a 10% annual step-up the target is reached in approximately 14 years.

Best fund allocation for Rs 7000 SIP?
Split across 2 funds: Rs 4000 in Nifty 50 Index Fund (57% — core stability and low cost). Rs 3000 in Flexi Cap Fund (43% — active management for potential alpha). This simple two-fund portfolio provides broad market exposure with some active management upside. Avoid splitting into more than 2-3 funds at this SIP amount.
Should I increase SIP or start new ones?
Increasing your existing SIP is simpler and equally effective. However starting a new SIP in a different fund category adds diversification. Best approach: increase existing SIP by 10-15% each year with salary hikes. Once total SIP exceeds Rs 15000 add a mid-cap fund as a third SIP for growth potential.
What is compound interest and why does it matter?
Compound interest means you earn interest on your interest, not just your principal. Over long periods, this creates exponential growth — even small regular investments can grow into substantial wealth over 15-25 years.
Is SIP better than lumpsum investment?
SIP invests a fixed amount monthly, averaging out market volatility through rupee cost averaging. Lumpsum works better when markets are low. For most investors, SIP builds discipline and removes the need to time the market.
How much should I invest monthly to become a crorepati?
At 12% expected returns, a monthly SIP of Rs 5,000 for 30 years grows to approximately Rs 1.76 crore. Increasing your SIP by 10% annually makes the corpus even larger. Start early, stay consistent.
Are investment returns taxable?
PPF returns are tax-free. Equity mutual fund LTCG above Rs 1.25 lakh/year is taxed at 12.5%. FD interest is taxed at your slab rate. NPS offers an additional Rs 50,000 deduction under 80CCD(1B).
