Corpus at different return rates
| Annual return | Corpus after 20 years | Wealth gained |
|---|---|---|
| 10% · conservative | ₹38.28 L | ₹26.28 L |
| 12% (used here) | ₹49.96 L | ₹37.96 L |
| 15% · aggressive | ₹75.80 L | ₹63.80 L |
Returns are never guaranteed — equity funds swing year to year and average out over the long run. Use a conservative 10–12% for planning and treat anything higher as upside.
How ₹5,000/month grows over time
| Duration | Invested | Corpus at 12% |
|---|---|---|

| 10 years | ₹6.00 L | ₹11.62 L |
| 15 years | ₹9.00 L | ₹25.23 L |
| 20 years (this plan) | ₹12.00 L | ₹49.96 L |
Notice how the corpus accelerates in later years — compounding does most of its work in the final stretch, so staying invested is what matters most.

Frequently Asked Questions
What will ₹5,000 SIP per month grow to in 20 years?▾
A monthly SIP of ₹5,000 for 20 years at 12% annual returns grows to approximately ₹49.96 L. You invest ₹12.00 L in total, and ₹37.96 L of that is wealth gained from compounding — a 316% gain on your invested capital.
How much does the return rate change the outcome?▾
SIP outcomes are very sensitive to returns. For ₹5,000/month over 20 years: at a conservative 10% you'd have about ₹38.28 L, at 12% about ₹49.96 L, and at an aggressive 15% about ₹75.80 L. Equity mutual funds have historically averaged 11–13% over long periods, but returns are never guaranteed.
What if I step up my SIP by 10% every year?▾
Increasing your SIP by 10% a year (in line with salary hikes) turns this plan into about ₹99.45 L — roughly ₹49.49 L more than a flat ₹5,000 SIP, for the same starting amount. A step-up SIP is one of the most effective ways to build a larger corpus without straining your budget early on.
What is ₹49.96 L worth in today's money?▾
Adjusted for 6% inflation, the ₹49.96 L you'd have after 20 years is worth about ₹15.58 L in today's purchasing power. Inflation is why equity SIPs matter — they aim to grow faster than inflation, unlike a savings account.
Is ₹5,000 per month a good SIP amount?▾
Any SIP amount works as long as it is consistent and started early. ₹5,000/month for 20 years builds ₹49.96 L from just ₹12.00 L invested. Starting earlier and stepping up over time matter far more than the exact starting amount.
Which mutual fund is best for a ₹5,000 SIP?▾
For long horizons (20 years), diversified large-cap, flexi-cap, or index funds are commonly used core holdings; ELSS funds add an 80C tax benefit. Category averages have been 11–14% over 10+ years, but past performance doesn't guarantee future returns. Consult a SEBI-registered advisor before choosing a specific fund.
