How to save Rs 14,41,466: Know calculations

Suppose you start a SIP of Rs 1000 just one month after the birth of your child. Deposit only Rs 1,000 for one year. Next year you will have to increase 10 per cent of Rs 1,000 i.e. Rs 100. In this way, your SIP will be Rs 1100 next year. Next year, you have to increase 10 per cent of Rs 1100 i.e. Rs 110 more, i.e. then your SIP will become Rs 1210. Similarly, every year you will have to add 10 per cent to the existing amount.

You have to run SIP with this formula for 18 years. In this situation, you will invest a total of Rs 5,47,190 in 18 years. But on this, interest at the rate of 12 per cent will be Rs 8,94,276. In this way, after 18 years, you will get Rs 14,41,466 from SIP, which you can spend on the necessary expenses of the child.
