1. What is the Upstox SIP Calculator?

The Upstox SIP Calculator helps investors estimate the future value of their Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) investments in mutual funds. It uses the standard SIP future value formula to project returns based on monthly contributions, expected returns, and investment duration.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the SIP Future Value formula:

\[ FV = P \times \frac{(1 + r)^n - 1}{r} \]

Where:

\( FV \) — Future Value of the investment (INR)
\( P \) — Monthly investment amount (INR)
\( r \) — Monthly rate of return (annual rate ÷ 12)
\( n \) — Total number of months

Explanation: The formula calculates the compounded future value of regular monthly investments, accounting for the power of compounding over time.

3. Importance of SIP Calculation

Details: SIP calculations help investors plan their financial goals, understand the power of compounding, and make informed decisions about their investment strategy and contribution amounts.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter monthly investment in INR, expected annual return rate in percentage, and investment period in months. All values must be positive numbers.
