How it Works
The SIP calculator uses the following parameters:
- Investment Amount: The amount you invest weekly
- Expected Return Rate: Annual expected return rate on your investment
- Time Period: Investment duration in years
SIP Formula
FV = P × ((1 + r)^n - 1) × (1 + r)/r
Where:
FV = Future Value
P = Investment Amount
r = Interest Rate per payment period
n = Total Number of Payments
Benefits of SIP
