1. What is SIP Future Value Calculation?

The SIP (Systematic Investment Plan) Future Value calculation estimates the maturity amount of regular monthly investments in mutual funds, considering compound interest over time. It helps investors plan their financial goals effectively.

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 (maturity amount)
\( P \) — Monthly SIP investment amount (INR)
\( r \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100)
\( n \) — Total number of months (years × 12)

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

3. Importance of SIP Planning

Details: Proper SIP planning helps investors achieve long-term financial goals like retirement, education, or wealth creation through disciplined investing and compounding benefits.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter monthly SIP amount in INR, annual expected return rate in percentage, and investment period in years. All values must be positive and realistic for accurate projections.
