WHY USE THIS CALCULATOR

Every Month Counts. See the Cost of Waiting.

Monthly Investment (₹)

The amount you invest monthly via SIP. This stays constant — the calculator compares the same amount invested now vs. after a delay to show the cost of waiting.

Investment Period (Years)

Your total investment horizon. The longer the period, the more dramatic the cost of delay — compounding lost at the end of a 20-year SIP is far greater than at the end of a 5-year one.

Expected Rate of Return (% p.a.)

The annualized return you expect. Higher returns amplify the cost of delay — at 12%, a 1-year delay costs more in lost compounding than at 8%.

Delay in Starting SIP (Months)

How many months you postpone starting your SIP. Even a 12-month delay can cost lakhs over a 20-year period — this is the key input that shows the price of procrastination.
