SIP of ₹1,000 per Month for 10 Years
₹1,000 a month at 12% grows to ₹2.3L in 10 years on ₹1.2L invested. Change the return, years, or add a yearly step-up.
Investing ₹1,000 every month for 10 years puts in ₹1,20,000. At 12% a year, the usual planning figure for equity funds, it grows to about ₹2,32,339, so ₹1,12,339 is growth. At a more cautious 10% the same SIP reaches ₹2,06,552; over 15 years it becomes ₹5,04,576. Use the step-up field if you can raise the amount each year with your salary.

Stay in for 15 years instead of 10 and the value becomes ₹5,04,576, that is ₹2,72,237 more for only ₹60,000 extra invested.
One percent more, 13.0% instead of 12%, adds ₹14,342 over 10 years. Fees and fund choice matter about that much.Tip: a 10% yearly step-up would give ₹3,37,433.

How SIP returns are calculated
A Systematic Investment Plan puts a fixed amount into a mutual fund every month. The value at the end is M × [(1 + i)^n − 1] ÷ i × (1 + i), where M is the monthly amount, i the monthly return (annual ÷ 12) and n the number of months. Each instalment grows for a different length of time, which is why the total invested and the final value look so far apart after ten or fifteen years.
Step-up SIP
Raising the monthly amount every year, say by 10% along with your salary, has an outsized effect because the increases arrive while the fund still has years to grow. Turn on the step-up field to see the difference; over 15 years it often doubles the final value.
What return to expect
Equity funds in India have historically delivered 10–14% a year over long periods, debt funds 6–8%, but returns are not guaranteed and vary widely year to year. Use a conservative rate for planning and treat the result as an estimate, not a promise. Expense ratios and exit loads reduce the actual return.
Taxes
Gains on equity funds held over a year are taxed as long-term capital gains above an annual exemption; short-term gains are taxed higher. The figures here are before tax.
