What is a Systematic Investment Plan (SIP)?
A SIP is a disciplined approach to investing in mutual funds. Instead of a large lump-sum investment, you contribute a fixed amount of money every month. This strategy allows you to benefit from "Rupee Cost Averaging" and the power of compounding over long durations.
How the SIP Formula Works
The maturity amount of a SIP is calculated using the Future Value of an Annuity formula:
Where:
M = Maturity Value
P = Monthly SIP Amount
i = Periodic Rate of Interest (Annual Rate / 12 / 100)
n = Number of installments (Years × 12)
