How to Calculate the Monthly SIP Needed for Your Target Goal
Financial planning begins with clear milestones: buying a home, funding children's higher education, or building a retirement nest egg. The Goal SIP Calculator eliminates guesswork by calculating exactly how much capital you must invest each month to achieve your desired target corpus.
Target calculations represent mathematical estimates based on constant return rates. Market volatility, inflation, and expense ratios will affect real-world outcomes. Plan conservatively.
Uses high-precision numerical convergence to solve the required starting installment under annuity-due compounding and annual step-up escalations.
Tracks key milestones along your investment journey, illustrating when your portfolio crosses quarter, half, and full target thresholds.
Worked Target Example: Reaching ₹1 Crore (12% Return)
10-Year Horizon: Starting SIP required: ₹43,041/month (Total Invested: ₹51.65 Lakh | Gains: ₹48.35 Lakh).
15-Year Horizon: Starting SIP required: ₹19,819/month (Total Invested: ₹35.67 Lakh | Gains: ₹64.33 Lakh).
20-Year Horizon: Starting SIP required: ₹10,009/month (Total Invested: ₹24.02 Lakh | Gains: ₹75.98 Lakh).
Doubling your horizon from 10 to 20 years cuts your required monthly investment by over 76% due to long-term compounding.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Goal SIP Calculator work?
Unlike a regular SIP calculator that projects future wealth from a monthly deposit, the Goal SIP Calculator works in reverse: you enter your target wealth amount, duration, and expected return, and it solves the exact starting monthly SIP required to reach that goal.
How much monthly SIP do I need to reach ₹1 Crore?
At an assumed 12% annual return: for a 15-year horizon, you need approximately ₹19,819/month without step-up; for a 20-year horizon, you need approximately ₹10,009/month.
How does an Annual Step-Up reduce my required starting SIP?
Committing to increase your SIP by 10% each year lowers your required starting monthly contribution significantly, making ambitious goals achievable on entry-level salaries.
Can I factor in my existing savings?
Yes. Enter your current initial savings base; the calculator projects its compound growth and subtracts it from your target, calculating monthly contributions only for the remaining gap.
Are my personal financial goals saved or shared?
No. All solver simulations run locally in your browser memory; your target goals and savings numbers are not sent to WebTorq for processing.
