SIP calculator: Vijay Kumar Virnave is a 45 year old professional whose monthly income is in 6 digits. At the beginning of his career, Ravi had to take care of his widow mother and one unmarried sister. So, Vijay couldn't save for his long-term financial goals. Now, he is free from all family responsibilities as his children are well settled now and his home loan also got closed last month. Now, he is thinking of making investment for his post-retirement needs. As per Ravi he would need around ₹5 crore to meet his financial requirements post-retirement. So, Vijay is looking for an investment tool that would enable him to make ₹5 crore in 15 years.

Batting in favour of mutual funds investment; Pankaj Mathpal, MD & CEO at Optima Money Managers said, "The investor not only needs to beat the inflation but also needs to make sure that he doesn't miss his investment goal as he would be retiring at the time of maturity. So, my advice for the investor is to go for equity mutual funds in SIP mode. It will help him get around 12 to 14 per cent return on one's investment for such long term period of 15 years."

Pankaj Mathpal of Optima Money Managers went on to add that one should increase one's monthly SIP with increase in one's income. So, one should follow step-up SIP mode as it helps an investor to bring down one's monthly SIP to the lowest possible levels.

On how much annual step-up would be enough for Vijay to meet his ₹5 crore goal; Kartik Jhaveri, Director — Investments at Transcend Capital said, "Generally, annual step-up advised to an investor is 10 per cent. But, in this case, I would suggest the investor to go for 15 per cent annual step-up as he is free from all family responsibilities and is able to earn in 6 digits. So, he should maximise his current financial status by keeping the annual step-up at 15 per cent."

Assuming 12 per cent return on one's monthly SIP for 15 years keeping annual step-up at 15 per cent, the SIP return calculator suggests that Vijay will require ₹44,000 to start his investment. At the end of 15 years, he would get ₹5,00,39,132 or around ₹5 crore as maturity amount, which exactly what Vijay wants at the time of his retirement.

However, in the case of mutual fund interest rate falling at the upper side of 14 per cent, in that case the mutual fund return calculator suggests that Vijay will get ₹5.69 crore maturity amount.
