Understanding Target SIP Calculator
When you know the goal amount but not the monthly investment, a reverse SIP (target SIP) calculator is the practical starting point — for a house down payment, education corpus, or retirement top-up.
How this calculator works
Enter the target amount, years available, expected return, existing savings, and optional step-up. The tool calculates the starting monthly SIP required to reach the goal.
Example
To build ₹50 lakh in 10 years at 12% with no existing savings, the required monthly SIP is typically in the mid-to-high thousands — lower if you already have a starting corpus or use annual step-ups.
Practical tips
- If the SIP feels too high, extend the timeline or reduce the goal temporarily.
- Combine lumpsum windfalls (bonus, gifts) with the SIP plan.
- Revisit the target after major life events.
Limitations
This assumes consistent investing and a steady return rate — real markets fluctuate year to year.
