5x15x25 Formula: How soon can Rs 5,000/month SIP grow to over Rs 1.6 crore at a given expected return? See calculations

If you are someone who wants to build a large corpus through disciplined, regular contributions then SIP investing can be one of the best options for you. And if you are considering mutual funds, then let me tell you that the 5x15x25 formula may help you create over Rs 1.60 crore corpus in 25 years. This is how it works: 

The formula, 5x15x25, involves starting mutual fund investments through SIP (Systematic Investment Plan) and continuing for 25 years. In the formula - "5" represents a monthly SIP of Rs 5,000. "15" denotes the annualised SIP returns. While "25"  signifies the number of years, implying that you need to invest in SIP for 25 years. 

Using this formula, if you start a monthly SIP of Rs 5,000 and continue for 25 years, your total investment will amount to Rs 15,00,000.

With an average return rate of 15 per cent, your investment will grow, earning approximately Rs 1,49,20,369 in long-term capital gains over 25 years.

At the end of the 25-year period, combining your initial investment and the long-term capital gain earned, you will accumulate an estimated amount of Rs 1,64,20,369.

SIP offers significant benefits, primarily due to the power of compounding. The longer the SIP duration, the greater the compounding benefits. 

With an average annual return of 15 per cent, SIPs offer substantial growth, outperforming many other investment schemes. Additionally, the rupee cost averaging feature ensures that expenses remain stable, even during market fluctuations.

SIPs offer flexible investment options, allowing you to choose the investment amount and period that suits your needs, whether monthly, quarterly, or semi-annually.

As per your financial requirements, you have the freedom to pause, withdraw, or increase SIP investments.
