How SIP (Systematic Investment Plan) Works?
SIP is a disciplined investment approach where you invest a fixed amount regularly (monthly, quarterly, etc.) in mutual funds or other investment instruments. This strategy helps in Rupee Cost Averaging (or Dollar Cost Averaging) and compounding wealth over time.
Where:
- P = Monthly investment amount
- r = Monthly return rate, calculated as (Annual rate / 12 / 100)
- n = Number of monthly installments, calculated as (Years × 12)
Example:
Let's say you invest ₹5,000 monthly in a SIP with an expected annual return of 12% for 10 years.
Given: P = ₹5,000, Annual return = 12%, Years = 10
Step 1: Calculate monthly return rate (r)
r = 12% / 12 / 100 = 0.01
Step 2: Calculate number of months (n)
n = 10 × 12 = 120 months
Step 3: Calculate Future Value
FV = P × [((1 + r)^n - 1) / r] × (1 + r)
FV = ₹5,000 × [((1.01)^120 - 1) / 0.01] × 1.01
FV = ₹5,000 × [2.3004 / 0.01] × 1.01
FV = ₹5,000 × 230.04 × 1.01
FV ≈ ₹11,61,702
Step 4: Calculate Total Invested
Total Invested = ₹5,000 × 120 = ₹6,00,000
Step 5: Calculate Wealth Gained
Wealth Gained = ₹11,61,702 - ₹6,00,000 = ₹5,61,702
Result: Your investment of ₹6,00,000 grows to ₹11,61,702, earning ₹5,61,702 in returns over 10 years.
