SIP Calculator for a 15-Year Goal

Many education and home down-payment goals sit around a 15-year horizon. This page preloads a mid-range return and a moderate step-up so you can gauge what steady investing could deliver without assuming extreme equity performance.

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-up applied at the end of each year
  • Returns assumed constant at 11% p.a., compounded monthly
  • Inflation default 6% for present value

How to read & safety notes

How to read this

  • Future value shows what you might see in your statement at the end.
  • Today’s value adjusts for inflation (default 6%) to keep expectations realistic.
  • Step-up SIP means your monthly amount increases once every year.
  • We assume monthly compounding; actual fund returns will vary.

How to read the result

At a 15-year horizon, incremental step-ups and sticking to the plan matter more than chasing higher returns. Use the comparison panel to see how a smaller SIP or lower return shifts the ending corpus.

For long horizons, inflation erodes purchasing power quickly. Keep the Reality check on to see today’s value alongside the future value.
