How to use the sip calculator for 10 years
- Enter the monthly investment. The page starts with ₹10,000.
- Enter the expected return per year. The page starts with 12 percent, an assumption and not a promise.
- Optionally add a yearly step-up, then read the expected value and the year-by-year table.
About this scenario
Ten years is a popular horizon for an SIP because it is long enough for compounding to show but short enough to plan around. Here the period is fixed at 10 years, so you only choose the monthly amount and the return you expect. Returns are not guaranteed, and figures are estimates only, not financial advice.
Worked example
The page opens with ₹10,000 a month at an expected 12 percent a year. After 10 years you would have invested ₹12,00,000 and the estimated value is ₹23,23,391. The estimated gain is ₹11,23,391, which is 1.94 times the money you put in.
Ten years at 12 percent, for different monthly amounts:
| Monthly SIP | Invested in 10 years | Estimated value |
|---|---|---|
| ₹5,000 | ₹6,00,000 | ₹11,61,695 |
| ₹10,000 | ₹12,00,000 | ₹23,23,391 |
| ₹15,000 | ₹18,00,000 | ₹34,85,086 |
| ₹25,000 | ₹30,00,000 | ₹58,08,477 |
₹10,000 a month for ten years, at different expected returns:
| Expected return | Estimated value | Estimated gain |
|---|---|---|
| 6% | ₹16,46,987 | ₹4,46,987 |
| 8% | ₹18,41,657 | ₹6,41,657 |
| 10% | ₹20,65,520 | ₹8,65,520 |
| 12% | ₹23,23,391 | ₹11,23,391 |
| 14% | ₹26,20,914 | ₹14,20,914 |
What to notice
The expected return changes the answer a lot over ten years. At 8 percent the same ₹10,000 a month grows to ₹18,41,657, and at 12 percent to ₹23,23,391. Raising the monthly amount to ₹15,000 at 12 percent gives ₹34,85,086. A yearly step-up of 10 percent in the SIP amount is one lever you can try in the options.
Tips
- Past returns do not predict future returns. Test a low, a middle and a high rate to see the range.
- Be careful with 12 percent. It is a round number to show the maths, not a promise.
- For longer periods or other compounding, try the monthly compound interest calculator.
