Step-up SIP calculator

Increase your SIP a little every year — watch how much more it becomes.

Quick answer

A step-up SIP calculator projects returns when you increase your monthly SIP by a fixed percentage each year — usually matching salary hikes. It compares the final corpus against a flat SIP to show how annual top-ups accelerate wealth.

What this tells you

A step-up (or top-up) SIP increases your monthly investment by a fixed percentage every year — usually in step with your salary hikes. It's the closest thing to a cheat code for building a bigger corpus without feeling the pinch.

How it's calculated

Each year we grow your monthly contribution by your chosen step-up percentage, then compound every month at your expected return. The 'vs a flat SIP' figure shows exactly what the annual increases add over never stepping up.

Common questions

How much should I step up each year?
Match your average salary hike — 8–10% is a sensible default. Even a 10% step-up can grow your final corpus by 30–50% versus a flat SIP over 15–20 years.
