Hindi Introduction
एसआईपी देरी की लागत (SIP Delay Cost) कैलकुलेटर आपको दिखाता है कि निवेश शुरू करने में की गई चंद महीनों की देरी आपकी भविष्य की संपत्ति को करोड़ों में कम कर सकती है। समय की शक्ति को समझें।
How the Procrastination Price is Calculated
We compare two scenarios: Starting an SIP today vs Starting an SIP after a specific delay, both ending at the same retirement age.
- Compound Loss: You lose the highest growth years which occur at the end of the tenure.
- Monthly Installment Cost: You miss out on the specific savings during the delay period.
- Wealth Gap: The difference in final corpus between starting now vs later.
Scenario: The Procrastination Cost
Delaying a monthly SIP of ₹50L by a specific period in a long-term horizon:
• Lost Wealth: ₹44,986
• Final Gap: Missing out on the final compounding peak
• Opportunity Cost: Permanent portfolio shrinkage.
Result: Starting today vs waiting is the difference between retiring with a comfortable corpus or falling short of your target purely due to lost time.
Monthly SIP: ₹50L
Wealth Lost: ₹44,986
Compounding Loss: Exponential
