What is a Step-up SIP?
A Step-up SIP is a variation of a regular SIP where you increase your monthly investment periodically�usually annually. It aligns your investments with growing income and helps accumulate more wealth over time due to increased contributions and compounding returns.
How to Use the Step-up SIP Calculator
To use the calculator, enter your starting monthly investment amount, expected annual return rate, investment duration in years, and the yearly step-up amount.

Example
If you start investing Rs. 5,000/month with an annual return of 12% and increase your SIP by Rs. 1,000 every year for 10 years, the Step-up SIP calculator will estimate your future corpus including the breakdown of interest earned and principal invested.
