Why Normal SIPs Aren't Enough
When you start a standard Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) of ₹5,000 per month, it sounds great on paper. But as the years go by, your income increases, while your investment amount remains stagnant. Meanwhile, inflation is constantly devaluing your target corpus.
The Magic of the Step-Up SIP
A Step-Up SIP (also known as a Top-Up SIP) is a strategy where you instruct your mutual fund to automatically increase your monthly investment by a fixed percentage or amount every year.
For example, if you start with ₹10,000/month and setup a 10% annual step-up:
- Year 1: ₹10,000/month
- Year 2: ₹11,000/month
- Year 3: ₹12,100/month
Why Use This Calculator?
- Find Your 1 Crore Year: Standard calculators only give you the end corpus. We actually calculate exactly which year you breach the prestigious ₹1,000,000 (1 Crore) mark.
- Beat Inflation: A 10% step-up effectively neutralizes a 6% inflation rate while leaving 4% extra for actual wealth acceleration.
- Discipline: Committing to a Step-Up SIP means you automatically invest your future appraisals instead of falling victim to lifestyle inflation.
