Accelerate your financial freedom with disciplined annual increases.
The Step-up SIP Calculator (also known as Top-up SIP) proves why standard SIPs are often not enough for long-term wealth creation. A Step-up SIP involves increasing your monthly investment amount every year by a fixed percentage (e.g., 10%) or a fixed amount in line with your annual salary increments.
By naturally escalating your investments as your income grows, you actively fight inflation and drastically reduce the time it takes to hit your ₹1 Crore or ₹5 Crore financial milestones.
Your monthly SIP grows to ₹37,975 by year 15.
Small annual increases (10%) create a massive 72.1% wealth boost over a fixed SIP.

Extra wealth vs fixed SIP
By increasing your SIP by just 10% every year, you've created an additional ₹36,38,089 in wealth. This strategy mimics your career salary hikes, making it the most realistic way to build a massive retirement corpus.
A fixed SIP is good, but a Step-up SIP is extraordinary. Align your investments with your salary hikes to reach your goals years earlier.
Increasing your SIP by just 10% annually can result in a 40-50% larger corpus over 20 years.
Step-up SIPs naturally hedge against inflation by increasing your saving capacity as prices rise.
A fixed SIP of ₹10,000 might seem large today, but at 6% inflation, its real value will drop to ~₹3,000 in 20 years. A Step-up SIP ensures your investment grows with your lifestyle, maintaining your purchasing power.
Comparing a ₹10,000 SIP over 20 years at 12% returns:
The biggest advantage of a Step-up SIP is automation. By scheduling a 10% annual increase, you remove the 'decision fatigue' of manual reinvestment and ensure your salary hikes are automatically converted into assets before they can be spent on lifestyle inflation.
