Frequently Asked Questions

How much SIP is needed for ₹10 crore in 25 years?

At 12% CAGR, you need approximately ₹52,800/month flat SIP for 25 years to build ₹10 crore. With a 10% annual step-up starting at ₹25,000/month, you can reach the same target more affordably.

Can I reach ₹10 crore starting at age 30?

Yes! Starting at 30 with retirement at 55 (25 years), you need ₹52,800/month at 12% CAGR. With step-up SIP starting at ₹25,000/month and increasing 10% yearly, you can comfortably reach ₹10 crore.

Is ₹10 crore enough for retirement in India?

At 6% inflation, ₹10 crore in 25 years has the purchasing power of about ₹2.3 crore today. If your monthly expenses are ₹75,000-1,00,000 today, ₹10 crore should provide a comfortable 25-30 year retirement with SWP.

What return rate should I assume for SIP?

For long-term equity SIP (15+ years), 12% CAGR is a reasonable assumption based on Nifty 50 historical returns. For conservative planning, use 10%. For aggressive multi-cap portfolios, 14-15% is historically possible but not guaranteed.
