Mutual Fund Step-Up SIP starts small and increases investments annually (₹ amount or %) to match salary hikes, inflation, or bonuses — perfect for young professionals aiming big. SSW’s tool projects goal achievement faster than fixed SIPs.
Why Step-Up?
Regular income grows 8-15% yearly, but fixed SIPs lag. Step-up aligns investments automatically for 20-40% higher corpus.
What Is the Step-Up SIP Calculator Formula?
The Step-up SIP calculator formula requires you to input three variables to compute anticipated returns upon maturity. The formula is below:
SIP Returns = P × ({([1 + i] ^n) – 1} / i) × (1 + i)
Here,
- P is the SIP amount you want to invest
- i is the expected rate of return on your investments, and
- n is the number of total SIPs (tenure in months)
