About Step Up SIP Calculator
A step-up SIP raises the instalment each year in line with income growth. Because the extra amounts still have years to compound, a 10% annual step-up typically lifts the final corpus by well over half against a flat SIP.
Formula
Step-up SIP
FV = Σ P₀(1+g)^(year-1) × (1+r)^(n-t+1)
- g
- Annual step-up
- r
- Monthly return
