Is ₹15,000/Month for 10 Years the Right Plan for You?
A ₹15,000 monthly SIP sustained for 10 years is a specific commitment: ₹180,000 every year, ₹18,00,000 across the full tenure. The right question isn't whether the number looks big but whether it's sustainable. A rule of thumb: your monthly SIP should be no more than 25–30% of your take-home pay if you also have EMIs and living costs, and ideally you have a 6-month emergency fund parked in liquid funds or FD before committing to a long-horizon equity SIP.
At the 10-year mark, compounding contribution to final value is substantial. Of the ₹34,85,086 you hold at 12%, only ₹18,00,000 is your own money — the rest, ₹16,85,086, is market-driven compounding. This ratio grows dramatically with tenure: a 10-year SIP is mostly your capital with modest gains, while a 25-year SIP is mostly gains with modest capital. If you can stretch the horizon or amount, the curve bends sharply in your favor.
Fund allocation for a 10-year horizon: Equity-heavy is appropriate. Consider 70–80% in diversified equity (flexi-cap, large & mid-cap) with 20–30% in hybrid or debt for stability.
Step-up reality check: If you increase this ₹15,000 SIP by just 10% annually, your final 10-year corpus at 12% would be roughly ₹50,61,489 instead of ₹34,85,086 — an increase of about 45%. Most salaried investors can afford this because their income also grows annually.
