About Step-Up SIP Calculator
Guide1What is a Step-Up SIP?
A Step-Up SIP (also called a Top-Up SIP) is an enhanced version of a regular SIP where you increase your monthly investment amount by a fixed percentage or amount every year. As your income grows, your investments grow proportionally.
For example, if you start a SIP of ₹10,000 per month with a 10% annual step-up, your investment becomes ₹11,000 in the second year, ₹12,100 in the third year, and so on. This accelerates wealth creation significantly compared to a flat SIP.
2Step-Up SIP vs Regular SIP
- Higher Corpus: A step-up SIP can generate 50-70% more wealth than a flat SIP over 20 years
- Income Aligned: Matches your growing income with growing investments
- Same Starting Point: You begin with the same affordable amount
- Inflation Hedge: Increasing investments help maintain purchasing power of your future corpus
3Step-Up SIP Formula
The future value is computed year by year, with the monthly amount increasing each year:
Year N investment = M × (1 + s)^(N-1)
- M = Initial monthly SIP amount
- s = Annual step-up rate (e.g., 10% = 0.10)
The total future value is the sum of individual SIP future values for each year's investment amount, compounded for the remaining duration.
