Planning a Step-Up SIP (also called a top-up SIP) in Nippon India Mutual Fund mutual funds? Use this calculator to see how increasing your SIP amount by a fixed percentage each year can significantly grow your final corpus compared to a flat SIP.
A Step-Up SIP lets your investment grow alongside your income. Enter your starting monthly SIP, the annual step-up percentage, your expected return rate, and your investment horizon to see the projected wealth.
A Step-Up SIP (or top-up SIP) is a variation of the regular SIP where you increase your monthly investment amount by a fixed percentage at regular intervals — typically annually. As your income grows, a Step-Up SIP allows you to invest more without changing your plan.
Even a small annual increase in SIP amount has a large compounding effect over time. For example, increasing a monthly SIP by 10% annually means that by year 10, your monthly investment is 2.6x your starting amount. The higher investments in later years compound for the remainder of the tenure, dramatically increasing the final corpus.
In a regular SIP, you invest the same amount every month. In a Step-Up SIP, you increase your monthly investment by a fixed percentage each year. The step-up means higher amounts are invested in later years, which compound for the remaining tenure and significantly increase the final corpus.
A common approach is to set the step-up percentage equal to your expected annual income growth rate — so your investment grows in line with your earnings. Even a 5–10% annual step-up makes a meaningful difference over a 10–20 year horizon. Use the calculator to compare different step-up rates.
