A monthly SIP is the simplest way to turn income into wealth, but the maturity figure depends heavily on how long you stay invested. These guides show the projected corpus, the amount you contribute, and the share that comes purely from compounding.
Pick the guide matching what you can genuinely invest every month, not the amount you hope to reach later — a SIP that gets paused loses more than a smaller one that runs. Read the contributed-versus-growth split: it shows how much of the maturity figure is your own money, which is what makes the case for staying invested.
The projections use long-run averages, not guarantees. Equity returns arrive unevenly, so judge a SIP on a decade, never on a year.
Raise the amount when your salary does, not when the market looks good. A step-up of 10% a year moves the maturity figure far more than timing ever will, and it is the one variable you fully control. If a month is tight, cut the SIP rather than skipping it — a paused mandate is the hardest one to restart.
