1. What is SBI SIP Calculator?

The SBI SIP Calculator helps investors estimate the potential returns from Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs) in SBI Mutual Funds. It calculates the future value of regular monthly investments considering compound interest.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the SIP future value formula:

Where:

• \( FV \) — Future Value of investment (INR)
• \( P \) — Monthly investment amount (INR)
• \( r \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12)
• \( n \) — Total number of months

Explanation: This formula accounts for compound interest on regular monthly investments, where each installment earns interest for different periods.

3. Importance of SIP Calculation

Details: SIP calculations help investors plan their financial goals, understand the power of compounding, and make informed investment decisions in SBI Mutual Funds.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter monthly investment in INR, annual interest rate in percentage, and investment period in months. All values must be positive numbers.
