How Much SIP Do You Need to Build ₹1 Crore?
1 Oct 2026A crore sounds like a lot, but a monthly SIP gets you there with time on your side. The table below assumes a 12% yearly return, which is an estimate and not a guarantee.
| Years | Monthly SIP | Total invested |
|---|---|---|
| 10 | ₹43,041 | ₹51.6 lakh |
| 15 | ₹19,819 | ₹35.7 lakh |
| 20 | ₹10,009 | ₹24.0 lakh |
| 25 | ₹5,270 | ₹15.8 lakh |
What this tells you
- Waiting 10 more years makes the monthly amount about four times bigger.
- At 25 years you invest only ₹15.8 lakh, and compounding adds the remaining ₹84 lakh.
- Increasing your SIP by 10% every year can reach the target sooner. Try it in the SIP Calculator.
Tips
- Start with what you can afford and increase it as your income grows.
- Stay invested through market falls. Stopping early removes the benefit of compounding.
- Use a realistic return. If you assume 10% instead of 12%, the required SIP goes up noticeably.
