What is SIP (Systematic Investment Plan)?

A Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) is a disciplined approach to investing in mutual funds where you invest a fixed amount regularly (monthly/quarterly) instead of investing a lump sum. SIP helps you benefit from rupee cost averaging and the power of compounding.

How Does SIP Work?

When you start a SIP, a fixed amount is automatically debited from your bank account on a specific date every month and invested in your chosen mutual fund scheme. You get units of the mutual fund scheme based on the prevailing Net Asset Value (NAV).

Benefits of SIP Investment

  • Rupee Cost Averaging: Buy more units when markets are low and fewer when high
  • Power of Compounding: Your returns also earn returns over time
  • Disciplined Investing: Automated monthly investments build discipline
  • Flexibility: Start with as low as ₹500 per month
  • Convenience: No need to time the market

SIP Calculator Formula

The SIP calculator uses the following formula to calculate maturity amount:

M = P × {[(1 + r)^n - 1] / r} × (1 + r)

Where:

  • M = Maturity Amount
  • P = Monthly SIP Amount
  • r = Monthly Rate of Return (Annual Rate / 12 / 100)
  • n = Total Number of Months (Years × 12)

Frequently Asked Questions about SIP

What is the minimum amount to start SIP?

Most mutual funds allow you to start SIP with as low as ₹500 per month. However, it's recommended to invest at least ₹1,000-₹2,000 monthly for meaningful wealth creation.

Can I stop or pause my SIP?

Yes, you can stop, pause, or modify your SIP anytime without any penalty. However, it's advisable to continue SIP for long-term wealth creation.

What returns can I expect from SIP?

Historical data shows that equity mutual funds have delivered 12-15% annual returns over long periods (10+ years). However, past performance doesn't guarantee future returns.

Is SIP better than lump sum investment?

SIP is better for regular investors as it provides rupee cost averaging and removes market timing concerns. Lump sum works better when markets are low and you have surplus funds.

Can I increase my SIP amount later?

Yes, you can increase your SIP amount anytime. Many investors opt for Step Up SIP where they increase their SIP amount annually by a fixed percentage.

What happens if I miss a SIP installment?

Missing 1-2 SIP installments won't affect your investment. However, if you miss multiple consecutive installments, your SIP might get cancelled by the fund house.
