How it's calculated
The formula
Required SIP = Target ÷ ([(1 + i)ⁿ − 1] ÷ i) × (1 + i), where i is the monthly return (annual ÷ 12 ÷ 100) and n is the number of months until the target date.
Assumptions
- A constant expected return throughout.
- SIP invested at the start of each month.
- No inflation adjustment of the target (use the Goal SIP calculator for that).

Real-world scenarios
See exactly how the numbers play out in the situations people actually face — so there are no surprises before you commit.
₹1 crore in 15 years at 12%
To reach ₹1 crore in 15 years at a 12% return, you need a monthly SIP of about ₹19,800. Over those years you invest roughly ₹35.7 lakh of your own money — compounding contributes the remaining ₹64 lakh or so. The earlier you start, the more the market does the heavy lifting.
The same crore in 10 vs 20 years
Give yourself 20 years instead of 15 and the SIP drops to about ₹10,000 a month (you invest ₹24 lakh). Squeeze it into 10 years and the SIP jumps to roughly ₹43,000 (you invest ₹51.6 lakh). More time slashes both the monthly amount and the total you contribute.
Returns versus contribution
Chasing a higher return to lower your SIP also means more risk and volatility. A steadier path is to invest a little more each month and step it up with your income. Don’t bank on heroic returns — bank on consistency and time.

Frequently asked questions
The details worth knowing before you rely on these numbers.
How much SIP do I need to become a crorepati?
It depends on your timeframe and return. For example, at 12% p.a., reaching ₹1 crore in 15 years needs roughly ₹20,000/month, while 25 years needs only about ₹5,300/month — the longer you stay invested, the less you need each month.
How is the required SIP calculated?
The tool inverts the SIP future-value formula: it finds the monthly amount that, compounded at your expected return over the chosen months, grows to exactly your target.
Why does a longer timeframe need a much smaller SIP?
Because compounding is exponential. Extra years give your earlier contributions far more time to grow, so the final years contribute the largest share of the corpus — dramatically reducing the monthly amount needed.
Is ₹1 crore enough?
It depends on your goals and inflation. ₹1 crore today is worth much less in 20 years, so size your target to its future purpose — our Goal SIP and Retirement calculators help with that.
Are these returns guaranteed?
No. The required SIP assumes a constant return; real mutual-fund returns vary and are subject to market risk.
Can I reach ₹1 crore with a lumpsum instead of a SIP?
Yes. Because a lumpsum compounds in full from day one, the amount needed is far smaller than the total of a SIP — for instance, at 12% you would need roughly ₹10 lakh today to reach about ₹1 crore in 20 years. A SIP suits regular savers; a lumpsum suits a windfall. Returns are market-linked and not guaranteed.
How much does my assumed return change the SIP I need?
A great deal — because it compounds. Reaching ₹1 crore in 20 years needs a much smaller monthly SIP at 12% than at 8%, but a higher assumed return usually means more equity and more short-term volatility. Use a realistic, conservative figure rather than an optimistic one, so your plan holds up if markets disappoint.
How should I actually invest to build ₹1 crore?
For a long-horizon target, disciplined SIPs into diversified equity mutual funds are the common route — stay invested through market ups and downs, step up the amount as your income grows, and review once a year. This is goal-based investing, not a guaranteed outcome; the corpus depends on the returns the market actually delivers.
