Frequently Asked Questions

As your income grows, your savings should too. A 10% annual step-up can significantly increase long-term investment value compared to a fixed SIP, depending on market conditions.

To understand the baseline calculation, compare it with our regular SIP calculator .

₹1 Crore after 20 years won’t buy the same things as ₹1 Crore today. The “Real Value” shows you what your maturity amount is worth in today’s purchasing power, giving you an honest picture of your wealth.

This mode works backward. Instead of guessing how much to invest, you simply enter your target amount (e.g., ₹5 Crores for retirement). The calculator estimates the monthly investment amount required based on user-defined targets and assumptions.

Markets are volatile. We run 1,000 market simulations (Monte Carlo) to show you a range of possibilities.
  • Low Outcome: A conservative scenario based on lower-percentile projections.
  • Expected: The most likely scenario.
  • High Outcome: Potential returns in a strong bull market.
Strategy Advice
Automate the Process

Most mutual fund platforms allow you to set an automatic “Top-Up” instruction when starting a SIP. This removes the psychological barrier of manually increasing investments.

The Power of 10%

As shown in the table above, a mere 10% annual increase can significantly increase long-term investment value compared to a fixed SIP, depending on market conditions.
