Mutual fund calculator: Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) is one of the most popular investment tools among Indian millennial because mutual fund SIP allows an investor to accumulate whopping amount with small monthly investment. According to tax and investment experts, mutual fund SIP investment for long-term allows an investor to get compounding benefit by getting interest on interest that helps maximisation of one's return on money. However, they advised investors to enhance their monthly investment using annual step-up in SIP. They said that annual step-up in monthly SIP helps an investor avail more financial freedom post-retirement.

According to tax and investment experts, if an investor invests ₹10,000 per month in mutual fund SIP for 30 years, he or she can accumulate around ₹12.7 crore at the time of maturity provided it has used 10 per cent annual step-up.
Speaking on mutual fund investments; SEBI registered tax and investment expert Jitendra Solanki said, "Mutual fund investments are subject to market risk but in long-term this market risk goes down and chances of higher return scales much high. So, if an investor opts for mutual fund SIP investment, then the investor would be able to start with small amount and accumulate big amount in long term. But, one should increase one's monthly SIP with increase in one's annual income using annual step-up in monthly SIP amount."
On how much annual step-up one should opt while investing in SIP; Kartik Jhaveri, Director - Investments at Transcend Capital said, "Ideal practice is 10 per cent annual step-up in one's monthly SIP as one would get at least 10 per cent increase in one's annual income. So, raising monthly SIP in sync with rise in one's monthly income won't be a hectic task for an investor."
On mutual fund interest rate one can expect on 30 year long-term SIP investment, Kartik Jhaveri said, "On long-term investment like 30 years or more, one can expect at least 12 per cent annual return, which may go up to 16 or may be 17 per cent as well. On an average, one can expect around 15 per cent return on one's mutual fund SIP investment for 30 year long period provided the plan has been chosen properly."
