Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Step-Up SIP and how does it compare to a normal SIP?
A Step-Up SIP increases your monthly mutual fund investment annually (e.g. by 10% in line with yearly salary raises). Over a 10 to 15 year investment horizon, stepping up your monthly contributions can more than double your final corpus compared to a fixed SIP.
Why does the Pocket Advisor SIP calculator factor in inflation?
A ₹1 Crore corpus 20 years from now will have significantly lower purchasing power due to inflation (historically ~6% in India). Pocket Advisor displays both nominal maturity value and inflation-discounted real wealth so you can plan realistic financial targets.
Does the calculator support beginning-of-month and end-of-month compounding?
Yes. You can toggle between annuity due (SIP deposit on the 1st of the month) and ordinary annuity (SIP deposit at month-end) to accurately match your bank auto-debit dates.
How does compound interest work in a SIP in India?
In an equity mutual fund SIP in India, compound returns work by reinvesting all monthly dividends and capital gains. Compounding accelerates exponentially after 7 to 10 years because monthly returns are earned not just on your initial capital, but on previous accumulated returns.
