Why SIP Projections Are Useful
A systematic investment plan builds a habit of investing a fixed amount at regular intervals. A projection can show how contributions and compounding may work together over time and can help compare different monthly amounts or durations.
Market-linked returns are not fixed or guaranteed. A calculator normally uses a constant assumed rate, while real returns vary from period to period and may be negative. Taxes, fees, inflation, fund performance, and contribution timing can change the outcome.
How Hemiley Estimates SIP Growth
Enter the regular monthly contribution, an expected annual return, and the investment period. Hemiley estimates the total amount contributed and a projected future value using the selected assumptions.
The result is a mathematical illustration rather than a promise. Use several return scenarios and consider the real value of money after inflation when planning for long-term goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
A SIP is a method of investing a fixed amount at regular intervals, commonly monthly, into an investment product.
No. Market-linked investments can rise or fall, and actual returns may be very different from the assumed rate.
Only when the tool provides explicit fields for them. Otherwise the projection is before those deductions.
More contributions are made and earlier contributions have more time to compound.
No. A SIP is generally market-linked, while an RD usually offers a stated deposit rate subject to bank terms.
Product rules vary. The calculator can model a fixed amount, but real plans may permit pauses, step-ups, or changes.
