The tool instantly shows your original target, the inflation-adjusted target (what you'll actually need in future rupees), and the exact monthly SIP required. With India's average inflation at ~6%, a ₹1 crore goal in 15 years actually requires approximately ₹2.4 crore in today's purchasing power — a critical insight that prevents under-saving.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much SIP is needed to reach ₹1 crore in 15 years?
At an expected return of 12% per annum, you would need to invest approximately ₹20,000 per month via SIP to accumulate ₹1 crore in 15 years — without accounting for inflation. However, with India's average inflation of ~6%, the actual target you should aim for is approximately ₹2.4 crore, which would require a significantly higher monthly SIP. Use the Goal Planner to calculate the exact inflation-adjusted amount for your specific scenario.
Why should I adjust my goal for inflation?
₹1 crore today will be worth much less in 15–20 years. India's average inflation rate is approximately 6%, which means the cost of goods, education, and healthcare keeps rising every year. If you target only the face value of ₹1 crore without adjusting for inflation, your savings will fall short of what you actually need in purchasing power. Always plan with an inflation-adjusted target to ensure your money retains its real value when you need it.
What is a realistic return expectation for equity SIP?
Based on historical performance of the Nifty 50 index, equity SIPs have delivered 12–15% CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) over 10+ year horizons. However, past performance does not guarantee future results. Markets can be volatile in the short term, which is why SIPs work best with long investment horizons of 7–10 years or more. For conservative financial planning, using 10–12% as your expected return is a prudent approach.
Can I use this for child education planning?
Yes! The Goal Planner is perfect for child education planning. Set your target amount to the estimated college or university fees, set the timeline to the number of years until your child reaches college age, and use an education-specific inflation rate of 8–10% — because education inflation in India tends to be significantly higher than general consumer inflation. The tool will give you the exact monthly SIP required to fully fund your child's education.
How does the inflation-adjusted target work?
The inflation-adjusted target uses the compound growth formula: Future Value = Present Value × (1 + inflation rate)^years. For example, if your goal is ₹1 crore and you expect 6% annual inflation over 15 years, the adjusted target becomes ₹1,00,00,000 × (1.06)^15 ≈ ₹2,39,65,582. The Goal Planner then reverse-calculates the monthly SIP needed to reach this adjusted amount at your expected rate of return, ensuring your savings will have the purchasing power you actually need in the future.
