SIP CALCULATOR

gOAL-bASED SIP Calculator

Ultimate User Guide: Holdexa Goal‑Based SIP Calculator (2026 Edition)

Introduction to SIPs and This Calculator

Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs) are one of the most disciplined and powerful ways to build long‑term wealth by investing fixed amounts over time. The Holdexa Goal‑Based SIP Calculator lets you estimate how your regular contributions will grow based on your chosen parameters such as risk profile, inflation, and investment period. It also helps you determine whether your current SIP plan will meet your financial goal or whether adjustments are needed. 


This guide walks you through every aspect of the calculator so you can:

  • Understand what each input means 
  • Use the tool effectively for planning 
  • Decode the results and visualize investment growth
  • Optimize your investment strategy
     

What Is a SIP Calculator?

A SIP calculator is a financial tool that estimates how much your regular investments could grow over a period based on an assumed rate of return. Traditionally, SIP calculators focus on answering:

  • How much will my SIP contributions be worth in the future?
  • What will be the total amount invested?
  • How much return might I expect given a chosen rate of return and duration?
     

Unlike a plain SIP calculator, the Holdexa version includes advanced options like risk profiles, annual step‑up, inflation adjustment, and Monte Carlo probability simulation. 


Why Use This Goal‑Based SIP Calculator

Most investors have a specific financial goal—whether it’s retirement corpus, child’s education, buying a home, or building wealth for early retirement. Goal‑based planning requires you to work backwards from your objective and determine how much you need to save to achieve that goal.


With the Holdexa Goal‑Based SIP Calculator, you can:

✔ See the inflation‑adjusted future value of your investments
✔ Know whether your current contribution plan is sufficient
✔ Determine the required SIP amount if your current plan falls short
✔ Assess goal achievement probability under market volatility
✔ Visualize year‑by‑year growth and compounding impact

This makes the calculator suitable for both beginners and experienced investors seeking clarity before committing money. 


Features & Capabilities

Here’s a complete breakdown of what this calculator offers:


A. Multi‑Currency Support

You can select your preferred currency symbol for display:

  • ₹ Indian Rupee (INR)
  • $ US Dollar (USD)
  • € Euro (EUR)
  • £ British Pound (GBP)
     

This makes the tool usable for a global audience.


B. Risk Profile Selection

You can choose from three risk profiles:

  • Conservative – Lower risk, lower return 
  • Moderate – Balanced risk and returns
  • Aggressive – Higher risk, higher potential returns
     

Each risk level is tied to an expected annual return and volatility setting used in Monte Carlo simulation. 


C. Investment Frequency

You can select how often you contribute:

  • Monthly 
  • Quarterly
     

More frequent contributions compound differently and impact total value. 


D. Step‑Up SIP (Annual Increase)

A powerful feature allowing you to increase your SIP amount each year — mimicking real‑life income growth. 


E. Inflation Adjustment

All final values are adjusted for inflation so you get a realistic understanding of your investment’s future purchasing power. 


F. Capital Gains Tax Consideration

You can enter an expected capital gains tax rate. This adjusts post‑tax returns, providing a more accurate projection of take‑home corpus. 


G. Monte Carlo Simulation

This statistical technique runs multiple simulations with random return variations to estimate the probability of achieving the goal — adding depth and realism to planning. 


H. Dynamic Chart & Table

After calculating, you get:

  • A line chart showing invested amount vs portfolio value year by year
  • A detailed table with annual breakdowns
     

Both help you visualize investment behaviour over time. 


 How to Use Each Input Field

Below is a detailed, beginner‑friendly explanation of each input:


Currency

Select the currency symbol you want all values displayed in. This is for presentation only and does not affect the math. 


Risk Profile

  • Conservative: lower annual return, lower volatility 
  • Moderate: balanced approach
  • Aggressive: higher potential return, higher risk
     

This affects the assumed return and the Monte Carlo volatility. 


Investment Frequency

Choose how often you invest (monthly or quarterly). More frequent contributions generally result in smaller incremental compounding differences but may match real cash flow better. 


Goal Amount (Today)

This is your current target value today — not inflated. The calculator will project the future goal based on inflation. 


Years to Goal

Enter how many years until you need the money. Shorter goals demand higher contributions; longer periods benefit more from compounding. 


Current SIP & Lump Sum

  • Current SIP: the periodic investment amount
  • Lump Sum: an optional one‑time initial investment that compounds from day one
     

Step‑Up (%)

If you expect to increase your SIP each year (e.g., 5%, 10%), add that here. Annual increases accelerate growth. 


Capital Gains Tax (%)

Use this to estimate how taxes might reduce your total investment value upon maturity.

 

Inflation (%)

Inflation adjustment helps you know the real value of your investment goal at the time you need the money. 


 Behind the Scenes: How Calculations Are Done

This calculator merges financial formulas with realistic assumptions to provide meaningful results.


Compound Growth

At the core is the compound interest principle:

Periodic investment grows each period at a rate converted from the annual expected return. 

Step‑Up Adjustment

The SIP amount increases by your chosen percentage annually.


Post‑Tax Value

After the investment period, gains are taxed using your entered capital gains tax rate before inflation adjustment.


Inflation Adjustment

The final future value is divided by inflation compounding to give “real value” — consistent with buying power at maturity. 


Monte Carlo Simulation

Random returns based on volatility produce a probability score representing how often the goal was met across numerous scenarios. 


Interpreting the Outputs

Once you calculate, you’ll see:


Inflation‑Adjusted Value

This tells you what your final corpus is worth in today’s money.


Goal Value

The target future amount after considering inflation over the period.


Status

✔ Goal Achieved or ❌ Shortfall.


Required SIP

If your plan falls short, the calculator suggests the monthly SIP needed.


Probability

Represents the likelihood (in percentage) of achieving the goal under simulated market conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

A Goal-Based SIP Calculator helps you plan investments to achieve a specific financial goal, such as buying a house, child’s education, or retirement. Unlike standard SIP calculators, it accounts for inflation, risk profiles, step-up SIP, capital gains tax, and probability of success using Monte Carlo simulation.


 

  • Select your currency.
     
  • Choose a risk profile (Conservative, Moderate, Aggressive).
     
  • Enter your goal amount and years to goal.
     
  • Enter your current SIP, lump sum investment, step-up %, tax rate, and inflation rate.
     
  • Click Calculate to view results, including inflation-adjusted value, probability of success, and required SIP if there’s a shortfall.


 

  • SIP (Systematic Investment Plan): Regular contributions (monthly/quarterly) that compound over time.
     
  • Lumpsum: One-time investment that starts compounding immediately.
    The calculator combines both to give a complete projection.


 Step-Up is the annual increase in your SIP amount to match expected income growth or inflation. For example, a 5% step-up means your SIP increases by 5% each year. This helps your portfolio grow faster and reach your goal sooner. 


 Monte Carlo Simulation runs 300 randomized scenarios based on your selected risk profile’s expected return and volatility. It estimates the probability of achieving your goal, giving a realistic view of potential market fluctuations. 


 Inflation reduces the purchasing power of money over time. The calculator adjusts your goal for inflation, showing the real value of your investment so that you know how much your corpus will actually be worth in future terms. 


  • Conservative: Low return, low volatility (~8% annual return)
  • Moderate: Balanced (~12% annual return)
  • Aggressive: High return, high volatility (~15% annual return) 

Your risk profile determines expected growth and success probability in the Monte Carlo simulation.


 Capital Gains Tax reduces your final investment value. Enter the expected tax rate so the calculator provides post-tax projections. This ensures you see realistic, take-home results. 


 The calculator provides estimates based on assumptions like expected return, inflation, and risk profile. While useful for planning, actual returns can vary due to market fluctuations. Always review results in context with your financial advisor. 


 If your current SIP is insufficient, the calculator provides a Required SIP amount that you should invest to meet your goal. You can also consider increasing your lump sum, extending the investment period, or adjusting your risk profile. 


 

Yes! Input your expected retirement corpus as the goal, set the years until retirement, and choose a risk profile. The calculator will estimate the monthly SIP needed and the probability of achieving the goal.


 

Yes! You can select your preferred currency (₹, $, €, £), making it usable for investors worldwide.


Recalculate whenever there’s a change in:

  • Income or SIP contribution
  • Goal amount
  • Investment horizon
  • Risk tolerance 
  • Market conditions 

Regular updates ensure your plan stays aligned with your objectives.


Currently, the calculator works best for one financial goal at a time. For multiple goals (e.g., home and retirement), calculate each goal separately and sum the SIP contributions. 


 No, it only factors in capital gains tax on the overall investment growth. Dividend taxation should be considered separately if relevant to your investments. 


 Even if the SIP seems sufficient, the Monte Carlo simulation considers market volatility. A lower probability reflects potential risk scenarios where market returns might be lower than expected. 


 

Yes. The calculator is designed for mutual fund SIP planning, but it can also be used for any recurring investment scheme with predictable compounding returns.


 If your SIP shows a shortfall, consider:

  • Increasing monthly contributions
  • Adding a larger lump sum 
  • Extending your investment horizon
  • Consulting a certified financial advisor for personalized guidance


 No. All calculations run locally in your browser.
