SIP Formula Used

The SIP maturity formula is: FV = P × [(1+r)^n − 1] / r × (1+r)

Where: P = Monthly SIP = ₹10,000 | r = Monthly rate = 12% ÷ 12 = 1.0000% | n = Total months = 15 × 12 = 180

Result: ₹50,45,760 maturity amount.

Want a higher corpus? Try a Step-Up SIP where you increase your monthly amount by 10% each year. On a ₹10,000/month base SIP for 15 years, a 10% annual step-up can add 40–60% more to your final corpus.

Frequently Asked Questions

What will ₹10,000 SIP per month become in 15 years?
Investing ₹10,000 per month via SIP for 15 years at an assumed 12% annual return gives you: Total invested: ₹18,00,000. Estimated returns: ₹32,45,760. Maturity amount: ₹50,45,760. That is a 180% gain on your total investment. Note: actual returns depend on the mutual fund you choose and market conditions.
Which mutual funds should I choose for SIP?
For a 10–15 year SIP horizon, diversified equity funds work best — Nifty 50 index funds (e.g., UTI Nifty 50, HDFC Index Fund) for passive investing, or large-cap and flexi-cap actively managed funds. For risk-averse investors, balanced advantage funds (hybrid) offer lower volatility. For tax saving, ELSS funds qualify for 80C deduction with a 3-year lock-in.
How is SIP return calculated?
SIP returns use the future value of a series of equal payments formula: FV = P × [(1+r)^n − 1]/r × (1+r). Where P = monthly SIP amount (₹10,000), r = monthly rate (12% ÷ 12 = 1%), n = total months (180). This gives ₹50,45,760 as the maturity amount.
Is SIP return of 12% realistic?
12% is the long-term historical average for diversified equity mutual funds in India (Nifty 50 CAGR over 20 years: ~13%). Over shorter periods, returns can be lower or negative. For conservative planning, use 10%. For debt funds, use 7-8%. The actual return you get depends on your fund selection and the market cycle.
