A SIP calculator helps estimate how regular monthly investments could grow over time. A SIP (Systematic Investment Plan) allows you to invest a fixed amount regularly, usually every month. This calculator estimates how your initial and monthly investments could grow based on an assumed annual return, helping you understand the potential impact of regular investing and compounding.

How the SIP Calculator Works
The SIP calculator estimates the potential future value of an initial investment combined with regular monthly contributions. It applies the assumed annual return over the selected investment period and shows the difference between the amount you contribute and the estimated investment growth.
Regular investing can help investors develop a disciplined approach to long-term investing. Investor.gov explains dollar-cost averaging as investing equal amounts at regular intervals, regardless of market ups and downs.
The results are estimates rather than guaranteed returns. Actual investment performance can vary depending on market conditions, fees, taxes, investment products and the timing of contributions.
Using the SIP Calculator
You can use the calculator to test different combinations of initial investment, monthly contribution, expected annual return and investment period. Comparing different scenarios can help you understand how the amount invested and the investment period affect the estimated future value.
The calculator assumes that monthly investments are made at the end of each month and that the assumed annual return remains constant throughout the investment period. Actual returns will normally vary over time.
For a broader understanding of how returns can build over time, you can also use the Compound Interest Calculator.
If you already have an investment and want to calculate its actual profit and return, use the Investment Return Calculator.
Why Regular Investing Matters
Regular investing allows you to contribute smaller amounts consistently rather than relying entirely on a single initial investment. Over longer periods, investment growth can become an important part of the overall value of the portfolio.
The impact of regular contributions can be particularly useful when combined with compounding. However, compounding does not eliminate investment risk, and past or assumed returns should not be treated as a guarantee of future performance.

Important Considerations
A SIP calculator is a planning tool, not a prediction of actual investment performance. Before investing, consider the nature of the investment, expected risk, fees, taxes, liquidity and your own financial objectives.
Different investments can produce very different results even when the same assumed annual return is used in a calculator. Actual returns may fluctuate, and some investments may also lose value.
