Most of the growth comes late
At the 10-year mark the SIP would be worth ₹23.23 lakh. The final five years add ₹27.22 lakh, which is 54% of the 15-year total. Gains first exceed your own contributions in year 11.
The practical lesson is about stopping. If you quit at year 10 and leave the money invested for five more years, it reaches about ₹42.21 lakh. Carrying on with the ₹10,000 for those five years lifts it to ₹50.46 lakh. Those last 60 instalments total ₹6 lakh and end up as ₹8.25 lakh.
At other return rates
| Assumed return | Estimated value | Estimated gain |
|---|---|---|
| 8% | ₹34.83 lakh | ₹16.83 lakh |
| 10% | ₹41.79 lakh | ₹23.79 lakh |
| 12% | ₹50.46 lakh | ₹32.46 lakh |
| 14% | ₹61.29 lakh | ₹43.29 lakh |
Stepping the SIP up
Raising the SIP by 10% every year, starting at ₹10,000, would reach about ₹86.84 lakh in 15 years, against ₹50.46 lakh for a flat ₹10,000. By year 15 you would be investing about ₹37,975 a month, which only makes sense if your income grows enough to carry it.
What it is worth in today's money
Fifteen years is long enough for inflation to matter. At 6% a year, ₹50.46 lakh then would buy about what ₹21.05 lakh buys now. Use a figure like this, not the headline number, when you are deciding whether the goal is big enough.
Common questions
How much will ₹10,000 a month become in 15 years?
About ₹50.46 lakh at 12% a year, ₹41.79 lakh at 10% and ₹34.83 lakh at 8%. You would invest ₹18 lakh in total.
What happens if I stop the SIP after year 10?
If you stop and leave the money invested, it reaches about ₹42.21 lakh by year 15. Continuing ends at ₹50.46 lakh, so the last 60 instalments (₹6 lakh in total) add ₹8.25 lakh to the final value. Whether to continue depends on your goal; they are simply more instalments growing at the same assumed rate.
What is the total amount I invest?
₹18 lakh: ₹10,000 × 180 months.
How is the future value worked out?
Each monthly instalment is compounded at the monthly rate (12% ÷ 12) for the months it stays invested, and the instalments are added up. The calculator above uses the same formula, so you can change any input.
