How to interpret this SIP plan
Use this 12-year projection to compare your monthly commitment with a future goal. Check several return assumptions and allow for the possibility of losses.
This model assumes beginning-of-month payments and a constant return. At 0% growth, you would have only your ₹72,000 in contributions. At 6% annual inflation, the default projected value has purchasing power of ₹80,075 today.
With a 10% annual step-up, total contributions rise to ₹1,28,306 and the projected value becomes ₹2,51,217. The difference is not all investment profit; part comes from the extra deposits.
Read the calculation assumptions or use the target SIP calculator to work backwards from a goal. Fund selection requires a separate assessment of risk, fees and suitability.
