Frequently Asked Questions
How much does ₹5,000/month SIP grow in 20 years?
At 12% annual returns, ₹5,000/month for 20 years grows to approximately ₹49.96 lakhs. Total invested is ₹12 lakhs. At 15% returns, the same SIP grows to approximately ₹76.57 lakhs — showing how higher returns amplify long-term results.
Is a 20-year SIP enough for retirement?
It depends on your monthly amount and lifestyle. ₹10,000/month for 20 years at 12% builds nearly ₹1 crore — adequate for a modest retirement. For a comfortable retirement, target ₹25,000–₹50,000/month SIP or a combination of SIP and lumpsum investments.
Should I switch from equity to debt funds as the 20-year SIP matures?
Yes. In the last 3–5 years before you need the money, gradually shift to hybrid or debt funds (systematic transfer plans) to protect your corpus from a market downturn just before withdrawal. This is called lifecycle investing.
