UNDERSTAND THE NUMBERS
How SIP and EMI Calculations Work
Monthly SIP Estimate
FV = P × [((1 + i)n − 1) / i] × (1 + i)
P is the monthly investment, i is the monthly return assumption, and n is the number of monthly investments. This formula assumes contributions at the beginning of each period.
Illustration: Investing ₹10,000 per month for 15 years at an assumed 12% annual return can grow to roughly ₹50 lakh before taxes and fees. Returns are not guaranteed.
Loan EMI Estimate
EMI = P × r × (1 + r)n / ((1 + r)n − 1)
P is the principal, r is the monthly interest rate, and n is the number of monthly instalments.
Illustration: A ₹10 lakh loan at 9% annual interest for 10 years has an EMI of approximately ₹12,668, excluding additional lender charges.
