₹3,000 per month SIP Calculator
What ₹3,000 invested every month grows to in 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 years, with a live calculator preset to ₹3,000 and ready to adjust.
Equity returns are not guaranteed. 12% is a common long-term planning assumption for diversified Indian equity funds; use a lower figure to be conservative.
What a ₹3,000 monthly SIP becomes
The table below assumes 12% annual returns, in line with the long-term average of broad Indian equity funds. Real returns vary year to year, so treat these as planning estimates, not promises. The calculator above is already set to ₹3,000 per month: change the return rate, add an annual step-up, or turn on inflation adjustment to stress-test the plan.
| ₹3,000/month for | Total invested (₹) | Est. value at 12% (₹) | Wealth gained (₹) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 years | 1,80,000 | 2,43,311 | 63,311 |
| 10 years | 3,60,000 | 6,72,108 | 3,12,108 |
| 15 years | 5,40,000 | 14,27,794 | 8,87,794 |
| 20 years | 7,20,000 | 27,59,572 | 20,39,572 |
| 25 years | 9,00,000 | 51,06,620 | 42,06,620 |
How much the return rate matters
Small differences in annual return compound into large differences in outcome over 15 years:
| If returns average | Value of ₹3,000/month after 15 years |
|---|---|
| 8% annual return | 10,19,335 |
| 10% annual return | 12,04,864 |
| 12% annual return | 14,27,794 |
| 14% annual return | 16,95,621 |
Two ways to grow this faster
First, step up the SIP every year: even a 10% annual increase (from ₹3,000 to ₹3,300 in year two, and so on) typically adds 25 to 40% to the final corpus over 15 years. Second, start earlier: the last 5 years of a 20-year SIP usually create more wealth than the first 10, because compounding is back-loaded. Use the step-up field in the calculator to see both effects with your own numbers.
