i SIP vs Lumpsum Guide

Educational only – ignores tax, fees, volatility & behavioural impact.

Formulas

SIP: FV ≈ P * (( (1+i)^n -1 ) / i ) * (1+i); i = annual% /12; n = months.

Lump: FV ≈ L * (1+r)^y.

When SIP Helps

Volatile or sideways markets – rupee‑cost averaging smooths entry price.

When Lump Wins

Early sustained uptrends – more capital compounding from day 1.

Risks
  1. Sequence risk on lump sum timing.
  2. Stopping SIPs during drawdowns.
  3. Overestimating return % (planning gap).
