Mutual Fund SIP calculator: Genius doesn’t do different things; they do things differently. Similarly, a smart investor becomes a millionaire or a billionaire by investing wisely. For example, if a normal investor starts a monthly equity mutual fund SIP of ₹9,000 and keeps doing it religiously for 20 years, it will accumulate ₹1.36 crore. However, like a smart investor, if someone increases their monthly SIP in sync with their annual income, they can accumulate almost twice as much as a typical investor.
How to become rich via equity mutual funds?
Speaking on how a smart investor accumulates much more than a normal equity mutual fund investor, Pankaj Mathpal, CEO & MD at Optima Money Managers, said, “Equity mutual funds offer a monthly SIP with an annual step-up offer. However, a few people choose an annual step-up. This leads to almost half of the amount which they could have accumulated by opting for the annual step-up.”
On how much annual SIP step-up an investor can opt for, SEBI-registered tax and investment expert Jitendra Solanki said, “In normal conditions, an investor takes a 10% annual SIP step-up. However, it is advised to opt for a 15% annual step-up SIP. This has a significant impact on one’s net sum at the time of redemption because in a long-term time horizon of 20 years or more, one can expect at least 15% annual return on one’s money.”

Assuming a 15% annual return on a mutual fund SIP of ₹9,000 per month, without annual step-up, the SBI Securities mutual fund calculator suggests that one would be able to accumulate ₹1,36,43,595 ( ₹1.36 crore) after 20 years.
