Rs 16,000 SIP to Rs 10 crore corpus: How many years may it take to achieve this goal if one gets 12%, 13%, 14%, or 15% annualised returns?

Rs 16,000 SIP to Rs 10 crore corpus: In retirement planning, long-term, consistent investment and above-average post-tax returns play a key role in generating a large corpus. Even a Rs 10 crore corpus can be created if one starts their investment journey early and keeps investing for a long term.

Rs 16,000 SIP to Rs 10 crore corpus: Everyone wants to have a comfortable post retirement life. But to live that life, financial freedom is necessary. Financial freedom comes when one has planned their retirement properly. Starting to invest early in a career can help one generate a sizeable retirement corpus. They need to be consistent and ensure that they get consistent post-tax returns on their investments. It can help them generate a large corpus with a small monthly or lump sum investment. If they delay it by only a few years, they may have to invest quite a larger amount to achieve the same retirement corpus goal. It happens because compounding helps grow the corpus faster with time. Here, we take you through calculations of creating a Rs 10 crore corpus from a Rs 16,000 monthly SIP investment. See in how many years one can achieve the goal if their annualised investment returns are 12 per cent, 13 per cent, 14 per cent, and 15 per cent, respectively.

How small SIP amount can create large corpus

Let's take the example of a Rs 3,000 monthly SIP investment and see that at a 12 per cent annualised return, how this can create a Rs 3 crore corpus.
In 20 years, the investment will be Rs 7,20,000, and the estimated corpus will be Rs 29,97,444.

Conclusion

Conclusion

Here, you can see that 1 per cent extra annualised return can fast-track the process of achieving a retirement corpus goal. The same target can be achieved in approximately 35 years at a 12 per cent annualised return that can be achieved in a little over 30 years at a 15 per cent annualised return. It is because of the compound growth of investment.
