In this write-up, know how your Rs 25,000 invested monthly for 5 years may unlock the potential to create a Rs 3.45 crore retirement corpus.  

SIP investment for retirement corpus building 

SIP is a popular mutual investment method, drawing more participants than lump sum investment.

SIP is a periodic investment where an investor can start with as low an amount as Rs 100.

Most mutual funds have Rs 500 as the minimum SIP investment.

Investors can start with a small amount and gradually increase their investment to build a sizeable retirement corpus.

Let's assume a person starts a Rs 5,000 monthly SIP investment and steps up the amount by 5 per cent every year.

Let's see the wealth that they can create at a 12 per cent annualised return by 60 years of age. 

In 30 years, the total investment will be Rs 39,86,331, estimated capital gains will be Rs 1,93,92,756, and the estimated corpus will be Rs 2,33,79,087.

In the first step, the investor will invest Rs 25,000 monthly in a mutual fund scheme for 5 years.
