Most investors start SIP but forget one powerful strategy — increasing SIP every year.

At KRM Investments, we recommend Step-Up SIP to align your investments with income growth.

What is Step-Up SIP?

Step-Up SIP means increasing your monthly SIP amount every year by a fixed percentage or fixed amount.

  • Start with a base SIP
  • Increase yearly by 5%–15%
  • Match SIP with salary growth

How Step-Up SIP Works

  • Year 1: ₹5,000/month
  • Year 2: ₹5,500/month
  • Year 3: ₹6,050/month
  • And so on...

Even small increases create a large difference over long-term compounding.

Key Insight

Increasing SIP by just 10% yearly can significantly boost your final corpus compared to a flat SIP.

Benefits of Step-Up SIP

  • Faster wealth creation
  • Matches income growth
  • Better retirement planning
  • Improves discipline
  • Maximizes compounding effect

How to Calculate Step-Up SIP

You can estimate your future wealth using:

  • Initial SIP amount
  • Annual increase percentage
  • Expected return (10–12%)
  • Investment duration

Example: ₹5,000 SIP + 10% yearly increase for 20 years can create a much larger corpus than a flat SIP.
