Investing ₹1,000 per month for 5 years at an expected 12% annual return results in a total investment of ₹60,000, an estimated wealth gain of ₹22,486, and a final maturity value of approximately ₹82,486.
If you step up your SIP by 10% each year, your final corpus will reach ₹98,457 instead of ₹82,486, generating an extra ₹15,971 in total wealth.
Assuming a standard Indian retail inflation rate of 6% per annum, the real purchasing power of ₹82,486 in today's terms will be approximately ₹61,638.
