A 5-year ₹5,000 SIP is ideal for accumulating a down payment for a car or home loan with higher returns than recurring deposits. Here is the exact calculation of your future value, total capital invested, 10% annual step-up advantage, and real inflation purchasing power based on an average 12% equity return.
If you increase your monthly contribution by just 10% each year (matching standard career increments), your corpus leaps from ₹4,12,432 to:
Total invested with Step-Up: ₹3,66,306.
Due to average Indian inflation (~6% p.a.), ₹4,12,432 in 5 years will have the equivalent buying power of:
Always plan targets using real purchasing power rather than nominal figures.

Investing ₹5,000 per month for 5 years at an expected 12% annual return results in a total investment of ₹3,00,000, an estimated wealth gain of ₹1,12,432, and a final maturity value of approximately ₹4,12,432.
If you step up your SIP by 10% each year, your final corpus will reach ₹4,92,285 instead of ₹4,12,432, generating an extra ₹79,853 in total wealth.
Assuming a standard Indian retail inflation rate of 6% per annum, the real purchasing power of ₹4,12,432 in today's terms will be approximately ₹3,08,193.
