SIP Calculator Formula
The formula used in the SIP calculator to calculate the expected returns is as follows:
FV = P [ (1+i) ^ n-1] * (1+i) / i
Here, FV = Future value or the amount you will receive at the time of maturity of the investment.
P = Principal amount you invested through SIP
i = Compounded rate of return
r = Expected rate of return
n = Investment duration in months
Example:
Let us assume that you want to invest INR 2,000 per month for 24 months. You expect an annual rate of return of 12%.
Let’s calculate:
i = r / 100 / 12 or 0/01.
FV = 2000 * [ (1 + 0.01) ^ 24-1] * (1+0.01) / 0.01.
After calculation, you will receive INR 54,486 at maturity.
