Retirement Planning via SIP: Mutual fund investors can invest through a systematic investment plan (SIP) and lump sum. While in a lump sum investment, they can invest one time; SIP allows them to invest periodically. They can invest in daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, or annual SIPs depending on their income cycle and financial goals. They can invest in a monthly SIP with as low an amount as Rs 100, while many fund houses allow a lower amount than that for a daily SIP. The SIP investment is often used as a source of retirement planning, where investors can invest a small amount periodically and create a sizeable corpus in the long run. Know how one can create a large retirement corpus from a small monthly SIP investment, and what can be the daily, monthly, and yearly SIP investments to create a Rs 6 crore corpus in 20, 25, and 30 years.

From Rs 2,000 monthly SIP to Rs 2 crore corpus

From Rs 2,000 monthly SIP to Rs 2 crore corpus

An investor can create an estimated Rs 2,10,67,354 corpus from a Rs 2,000 monthly SIP investment in approximately 39 years if they get a 12 per cent annualised SIP return (XIRR). But it can be a much larger corpus if the rate of return is 1 per cent higher.
At a 13 per cent annualised return, the estimated corpus will be Rs 2,87,18,792.

If an investor gets a 13 per cent annualised SIP return from a Rs 5,000 monthly investment, they can generate an estimated Rs 8,17,71,694 corpus in 40 years. 
Even if the rate of annualised return is 10 per cent, the estimated corpus will be Rs 3,18,83,901.

What are learnings?

What are learnings?

The estimated investment is decreasing as the duration is increasing. E.g., the required monthly SIP investment to get a Rs 6 crore corpus in 20 years is Rs 60,051.17, and the overall is Rs 1,44,12,280. But the estimated amounts reduce to Rs 16,997.58 and Rs 61,19,130, respectively, when the investment horizon is increased to 30 years. It happens because of the extra years of compound growth in investments.
