Is ₹30,000/Month for 5 Years the Right Plan for You?
A ₹30,000 monthly SIP sustained for 5 years is a specific commitment: ₹360,000 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 5-year mark, compounding contribution to final value is substantial. Of the ₹24,74,591 you hold at 12%, only ₹18,00,000 is your own money — the rest, ₹6,74,591, 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 5-year horizon: Balanced allocation. Consider 50–60% equity with 40–50% debt to manage shorter-horizon volatility.
Step-up reality check: If you increase this ₹30,000 SIP by just 10% annually, your final 5-year corpus at 12% would be roughly ₹29,53,711 instead of ₹24,74,591 — an increase of about 19%. Most salaried investors can afford this because their income also grows annually.
