Goal-Based SIP Calculator
Use this calculator when the goal amount is known but the recurring investment is not. Target basis, inflation, contribution timing, and return convention are explicit because each one changes the required contribution.

Goal-based SIP solves required contributions under assumptions. Target basis, inflation, contribution timing, fees, and return convention stay visible because each can materially change the answer.
Use the regular SIP calculator when you already know the contribution amount. Use this goal planner when the target corpus is the starting point.
Frequently asked questions
- What is a goal-based SIP calculator?
- A goal-based SIP calculator works backward from a target corpus and estimates the recurring investment needed under selected return, tenure, frequency, timing, inflation, and fee assumptions.
- Why does target basis matter?
- A today-value target can be inflated into a future target, while a future-value target is already stated in future money. Mixing those assumptions can materially change the required contribution.
- Can current savings reduce the required SIP?
- Yes. The calculator compounds current savings to the goal date and solves only the remaining future goal. If current savings already fund the goal, the required recurring contribution is zero.
- Is the required contribution guaranteed?
- No. It is an assumption-based solve. Market returns, taxes, fees, and inflation can differ from the inputs. Historical backtests are not available.
