SIP Calculator for 12% Annual Returns

A 12% return assumption is typical for long-term equity-heavy portfolios in India. This page lets you see how that rate compounds with a steady SIP and an optional yearly step-up. Numbers are pre-tax and purely for planning, so you can stress test what happens if markets deliver less.

Assumptions used

  • Annual compounding with monthly SIP contributions
  • Constant expected returns (pre-tax) for illustration
  • Optional inflation adjustment at 6% by default
  • No taxes, loads, or fees included unless you add them manually
  • Monthly SIP with annual step-ups applied every 12 months
  • Returns assumed constant at 12% p.a., compounded monthly
  • Inflation default 6% for present value

How to read the result

At 12% assumed returns, growth is sensitive to how long you stay invested and how consistently you step up contributions. The Reality check line shows what that future corpus may feel like today after inflation.

If inflation averages higher than 6%, the purchasing power of the final corpus will be lower—toggle Reality check to see the impact instantly.
