How to apply a top-up of 5 percent
If you start a SIP of ₹5000 and apply a top-up of 5 percent every year, then you get a huge benefit from it. Actually, Top-Up SIP is a facility through which you can add some amount to your regular SIP. Suppose you start a SIP of ₹5,000 and apply a top-up of 5 percent every year, then in the initial year, you will have to deposit only ₹5,000 for 12 months.
In the next year, you have to increase this amount by 5% of 5,000 which will be Rs 250. That means, next year you will have to deposit Rs 5,250 in SIP. In the next year, you have to increase 5% of 5,250 rupees i.e. 262.5 or 263 rupees, that means you will have to run a SIP of Rs 5,513. Similarly, you have to apply a top-up of 5% on the total amount every year.
How will you deposit more than 50,00,000?
If you run a SIP of Rs 5,000 with an annual top-up of 5% for 18 years, then you will invest a total of Rs 16,87,943. The average return on SIP in the long term is considered to be 12%. At the rate of 12%, you will get Rs 34,57,451 only as interest. In this way, after 18 years your child will be the owner of Rs 51,45,394. If the return is more than 12 percent, then the amount will be even higher after 18 years.
