What is an SIP Calculator?
PL Capital offers a free online Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) calculator, which assists you in calculating the returns on your SIP investments. It is useful for comparing the returns from different SIP investing plans.
You may estimate the future value of your SIP investments with PL’s mutual fund SIP calculator. It considers a number of factors, such as the investment amount, the regular SIP contributions, the expected rate of return, and the total duration of the investment.
This SIP calculator helps long-term investors build wealth in the long run.
How Does an SIP Calculator Function?
An SIP calculator functions based on the following formula:
M = P × ({[1 + i]^n – 1} / i) × (1 + i)
In the formula above:
Let us understand this with an example. Suppose you wish to invest INR 500 a month for a duration of 12 months at an 11% periodic rate of interest. You need to require the monthly rate of return (i) to determine the SIP maturity amount.
Simply dividing the yearly return by 12 is a typical error. For instance, since returns are compounded, calculating a 11% annual return as 11 ÷ 12 = 0.91% each month is incorrect.
The following formula should be used to convert the yearly return into a monthly return:
Monthly Return = {(1 + Annual Return)^1/12} – 1
The effective monthly return for a 12% annual return is around 0.87%, not 0.91%.
This is because a 12-month compound interest rate of 0.87% yields an annual return of 11%. However, the compounded yearly return rises to almost 11% if you assume 0.91% each month, producing an exaggerated figure.
The monthly rate of return will thus be as follows, using the calculation above:
i = (1 + 0.11)1/12 − 1
= 0.0087 or 0.95%
Therefore, M = 500 x ({[1 +0.0087 ]^{12} – 1} / 0.0087) x (1 + 0.0087), which gives INR 6,324 approximately in a year.
Please note that an SIP's interest rate will vary depending on the market conditions. The expected returns will fluctuate, whether they rise or fall.
