About the Nepal SIP calculator

A Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) invests a fixed amount at regular intervals — usually every month — instead of a single lump sum. This calculator estimates the future value of such a plan from the monthly amount, the number of years and an assumed annual return. It is useful for mutual-fund investors in Nepal planning a monthly plan, and for anyone comparing how different amounts or horizons change the final corpus.

How the future value is worked out

Each monthly investment is assumed to be made at the start of the month and to grow at the assumed monthly rate (the annual return divided by twelve) until the end of the term. Because every instalment compounds for a different length of time, the total is not simply the amount invested plus simple interest — the earlier instalments earn far more than the later ones. The result is the standard annuity-due formula.

Invested amount versus returns

The calculator separates the money you put in (monthly amount × number of months) from the estimated returns (future value minus invested). Seeing the two side by side shows the effect of compounding: over long horizons the returns can exceed the amount invested many times over.

Return is an assumption

The expected return is a number you supply. Mutual-fund returns are not guaranteed and markets rise and fall, so treat the figure as a planning scenario rather than a promise. Try a few different rates to see a range of outcomes.

Frequently asked questions

How is SIP future value calculated?
Each monthly instalment is assumed to grow at the monthly rate (annual return ÷ 12) until maturity, and the instalments are summed in what is called an annuity-due formula. Earlier instalments compound for longer, so they contribute more than later ones.
What monthly return assumption should I use?
That depends on the fund and the market. Equity funds in Nepal have historically been volatile, so a single number is only a scenario. Try a conservative and an optimistic rate to see a range, and remember past returns do not guarantee future ones.
Is SIP better than a lump sum?
They suit different situations. A SIP spreads your entry price over time, which reduces the risk of investing everything at a market peak, while a lump sum invests immediately and can do better in a steadily rising market. Many investors combine both.
Does a longer tenure make a big difference?
Yes. Because of compounding, extending the term increases the final value more than proportionally — the last few years often add more to the corpus than the first several, even though the monthly amount is unchanged.
Does the calculator account for inflation or taxes?
No. The figure is the nominal future value before any fund expenses, exit loads or capital-gains tax, and before adjusting for inflation. Treat it as a gross planning estimate and factor those in separately.
Can I use it for weekly or quarterly plans?
This version assumes monthly investments, which is the most common SIP frequency. If your plan is quarterly or yearly, enter the equivalent monthly amount or period so the timing of contributions stays close to your plan.
