How Does the Goal SIP Calculator Work?

The Goal SIP Calculator helps you determine how much you need to invest monthly through a Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) to achieve your financial goals.

  • Goal Value: Enter the current cost of your goal (e.g., ₹5,00,000 for a car)
  • Inflation Adjustment: Automatically adjusts your goal for 6% annual inflation
  • Expected Returns: Based on typical equity mutual fund returns (10-15% p.a.)
  • Time Horizon: Longer periods mean smaller monthly investments needed

The calculator uses the future value of annuity formula to compute the required monthly SIP amount.

Frequently Asked Questions

❓ What is a Goal-based SIP?
A goal-based SIP is a systematic investment approach where you invest a fixed amount monthly to achieve specific financial goals like buying a house, funding education, or planning retirement.
❓ Why is inflation considered?
Inflation reduces purchasing power over time. What costs ₹5 lakhs today might cost ₹8-9 lakhs in 10 years. This calculator uses 6% annual inflation to ensure your goal amount is realistic.
❓ What should be my expected rate of return?
Equity mutual funds historically return 12-15% annually, while debt funds return 6-8%. For long-term goals (10+ years), 12% is a reasonable assumption for equity investments.
❓ Can I change my SIP amount later?
Yes, most mutual funds allow you to increase or decrease your SIP amount. You can start with what's comfortable and increase it annually (step-up SIP) as your income grows.
