1. What is the Upstox Mutual Fund SIP Calculator?

The Upstox Mutual Fund SIP Calculator helps investors project the future value of their Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) investments in mutual funds. It uses the future value of annuity formula to estimate returns based on monthly contributions, expected rate of return, and investment duration.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the Future Value of Annuity formula:

\[ FV = PMT \times \frac{(1 + r)^n - 1}{r} \]

Where:

\( FV \) — Future Value (INR)
\( PMT \) — Monthly Investment Amount (INR)
\( r \) — Monthly Interest Rate (decimal)
\( n \) — Total Number of Months

Explanation: This formula calculates the compounded future value of regular monthly investments, accounting for the power of compounding over time.

3. Importance of SIP Investment Planning

Details: Systematic Investment Planning helps in disciplined wealth creation through regular investments, rupee cost averaging, and harnessing the power of compounding. Proper planning ensures realistic financial goals and better investment decisions.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter monthly investment amount in INR, expected annual rate of return in percentage, and investment period in years. The calculator will project the future value, total amount invested, and estimated returns.
