About the Step-up SIP calculator
A step-up SIP, also called a top-up SIP, increases the monthly instalment once a year by a percentage you choose. It lets the amount you invest keep pace with a rising income.
This calculator compares nothing for you; it adds up every stepped-up instalment and the growth on it at the return you enter.
How the Step-up SIP calculator works
For the first twelve months the instalment is the amount you enter. It then rises by the step-up percentage, stays there for twelve months, and rises again.
Each instalment is invested at the start of its month and compounds monthly at one twelfth of the annual return.

Step-up SIP calculator FAQs
How is a step-up SIP different from a normal SIP?
A normal SIP keeps the same instalment for its whole term. A step-up SIP raises it at a fixed interval, usually every year, by a fixed amount or percentage.
Can I step up by a fixed rupee amount instead of a percentage?
Many platforms allow either. This calculator uses a percentage; to model a fixed rupee increase, choose the percentage that gives roughly that amount in the first year.
Does the step-up apply from the first month?
No. The first twelve instalments use the starting amount, and each increase applies after every twelve instalments.
Is the result guaranteed?
No. Mutual fund values move with the market. The calculator uses one steady return to show the effect of the yearly increase.
Can I stop the step-up later?
Usually yes, by changing or replacing the SIP instruction with your fund house or platform. Their rules decide how and when.
