What a step-up SIP is
A step-up SIP increases the monthly investment amount at a fixed interval, commonly once per year. It can align investing with rising income while keeping a disciplined contribution habit.

How this estimate works
The calculator increases the monthly contribution at the start of each investment year and compounds each monthly contribution using the expected annual return converted to a monthly rate.
Use conservative scenarios
Market returns are not guaranteed. Test lower return assumptions, inflation, expenses, and goal timing before treating a projection as achievable.
Planning note
A higher step-up rate creates a much larger final monthly commitment. Make sure the future SIP remains realistic for income, expenses, and emergency savings.
