What is a Step-Up SIP?
A Step-Up SIP is a systematic investment plan where you increase your monthly SIP amount every year. It is also called a top-up SIP. This method is useful when your income increases over time and you want to invest more gradually.
How This Step-Up SIP Calculator Works
This calculator uses your starting monthly SIP amount, annual step-up percentage, expected annual return, investment period, and current investment value to estimate your future maturity value. It increases the SIP amount every year and calculates monthly compounding on your investment.
Step-Up SIP Formula
In a step-up SIP, the monthly investment amount increases every year by the selected step-up percentage. The calculator then compounds each monthly investment using the expected return rate for the remaining investment period.

Step-Up SIP Calculation Example
Suppose you start a SIP of Rs. 5,000 per month, increase it by 10% every year, invest for 15 years, and expect 12% annual return. This calculator estimates your total investment, estimated returns, and final maturity value.
Step-Up SIP vs Normal SIP
A normal SIP keeps the same monthly investment amount throughout the period. A step-up SIP increases the monthly amount every year. If your income grows regularly, a step-up SIP can help you build a bigger corpus without putting too much pressure at the start.
