Goal SIP

Goal SIP Calculator

The Goal SIP calculator is a tool that can be used to understand how much you need to invest as SIPs to achieve a specified maturity goal. It is important to note that the Goal SIP calculator only provides estimates and actual returns may vary depending on various factors such as performance, taxation, expenses, etc.

The calculator considers the following factors:

• Amount required for the goal in today’s price
• Period of investment
• Expected rate of return

Once you enter the details, the calculator will display the total cost and SIP amount per month.

Goal-based SIP financial planning provides a structured approach to investing by aligning systematic investment plans with specific financial goals. It promotes disciplined savings, ensures goal clarity, and allows for regular monitoring and adjustments based on changing circumstances.

The SIP calculator gives you the maturity amount of an investment, and the data you will have to input is - SIP amount, expected rate of return, and period of investment. Whereas the goal-based SIP calculator is when you enter the maturity amount you need, the expected rate of return, and the period of investment, then the calculator will tell you the SIP value you need to invest every month.

To determine your financial goals, assess your short-term and long-term needs, consider major life events, evaluate current financial status, and prioritize objectives such as buying a home, saving for child education, or planning for retirement.
