Goal-Based Top-Up SIP (Step-Up SIP) lets you start with a fixed monthly investment and increase it annually (fixed amount or %) to match salary hikes/inflation while targeting specific goals like retirement or home purchase. SSW’s calculator shows how top-ups supercharge wealth creation.
How It Works
Unlike regular SIPs, top-up SIPs grow contributions dynamically:
- Year 1: ₹10,000/month
- Year 2: ₹11,000/month (10% top-up)
- And so on…
Enter your goal amount, time horizon, initial SIP, annual top-up %, and expected return for instant projections.
