How SIPs can help build ₹1 crore over time
The real advantage of a SIP is not a shortcut. It is the combination of time, consistency and compounding.
A ₹10,000 monthly SIP contributes ₹24 lakh over 20 years. At an assumed 12% annualised return, the mathematical value is about ₹98.93 lakh—close to ₹1 crore.
At lower assumed returns, the same contribution produces a smaller value. The table makes this sensitivity visible rather than presenting one attractive number in isolation.
These are calculator outputs, not predictions. Market returns are not fixed, actual outcomes can be higher or lower, and losses are possible.
A stronger plan is one you can sustain through market cycles, review periodically and increase responsibly as income grows.
