1. What is the Future Value of SIP?

The Future Value of Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) calculates the expected value of regular monthly investments in mutual funds, taking into account compound interest over time. It helps investors understand the potential growth of their investments.

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 (currency)
\( P \) — Monthly investment amount (currency)
\( r \) — Monthly return rate (fraction)
\( n \) — Number of months

Explanation: The formula calculates the future value of a series of equal monthly investments, accounting for compound interest at a specified rate over the investment period.

3. Importance of SIP Calculation

Details: Understanding future value helps investors plan their financial goals, assess investment strategies, and make informed decisions about mutual fund investments and retirement planning.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter monthly investment amount in currency, monthly return rate as a fraction (e.g., 0.01 for 1%), and investment period in months. All values must be positive.
