Calculate the future value of your SIP investments, total invested amount, and estimated returns for mutual fund investments.
What Is an SIP Calculator?
A SIP (Systematic Investment Plan) calculator is a financial tool that helps you estimate the future value of your regular mutual fund investments. SIP is a popular way to invest in mutual funds where you invest a fixed amount regularly (monthly, quarterly, etc.) over a period of time.
This SIP calculator uses the power of compounding to show you how your investments grow over time. It calculates the total invested amount, estimated returns, and the final corpus based on your monthly investment, expected return rate, and investment period.
How to Use the SIP Calculator

- Enter the expected return: Type the expected annual return rate as a percentage.
- Enter the investment period: Type the number of years you plan to invest.
- Click "Calculate": The tool instantly shows your invested amount, estimated returns, and total value.
SIP Formula
FV = P × [((1+r)^n - 1) / r] × (1+r)
- FV = Future Value of the SIP
- P = Monthly investment amount
- r = Monthly return rate (expected return ÷ 12)
- n = Number of monthly investments (years × 12)
