Small Daily Savings, Big Future Returns
Many individuals dream of becoming crorepatis, but the idea of needing huge capital to begin often becomes a hurdle. The reality, however, is different. If you save just ₹80 a day—that’s ₹2,400 per month—and invest it through SIPs, you can accumulate over ₹1 crore in the long term.
The Magic Behind It: Compounding Power
The key to turning small investments into large returns lies in compounding. When you earn interest on your investment, and then that interest begins to earn interest itself, your money grows at an accelerated pace. Over time, this exponential growth can lead to substantial wealth.
Example Calculation: ₹1 Crore in 28 Years
Let’s break it down:
- Monthly SIP: ₹2,400
- Annual Return: 15%
- Duration: 28 years
- Total Invested Amount: ₹8,06,400
- Final Value: ₹1,01,69,683
- Total Gain (Interest): ₹93,63,283
This means that by the time you turn 53 (if you start at 25), your modest daily savings will have grown into a corpus exceeding ₹1 crore.
Why SIP is Ideal for Everyone
SIP is one of the most accessible and disciplined ways to invest. It doesn’t require a large one-time investment, making it ideal for salaried individuals and beginners. Additionally, SIPs offer rupee cost averaging—when markets are down, more units are bought, and when markets are high, fewer units are purchased—balancing the investment over time.
Important Note for Investors
