The key is to start investing early and continue it for a long term.

Other important components are to have a clear retirement corpus goal for a certain time frame and get the desired returns to achieve it.

If one has a longer investment duration with a smaller monthly SIP investment, they can create a larger corpus compared to a person whose monthly investment amount is larger and the duration is shorter.

See how one can create a larger retirement corpus with a smaller amount and what the daily, monthly, and yearly SIP corpuses should be. 

Rs 2,500 SIP for 40 years vs Rs 25,000 SIP for 40 years

See which of them can create a higher corpus at a 12 per cent annualised return each.

At Rs 2,500 monthly investment for 40 years, the investment will be Rs 12,00,000, estimated capital gains will be Rs 2,85,06,051, and the estimated corpus will be Rs 2,97,06,051.

At Rs 25,000 monthly SIP investment for 21 years, the total investment will be Rs 63,00,000, estimated returns will be Rs 2,21,66,855, and the estimated corpus will be Rs 2,84,66,855.

Here, you can see that a Rs 2,500 monthly SIP investment created a larger corpus despite having Rs 51,00,000 less investment. It's because it got 19 years of extra compounding.
