Everyone invests in mutual funds through SIPs, but most people cannot create the fund they want. Today, we will discuss a simple formula that can help you become a millionaire in 20 years.

To do this, you need to use the 4x15x20 formula. With this formula, anyone can easily save up to ₹8 crore in 20 years. Let’s understand this formula with an example.

What is the 4x15x20 Formula?

SIP Calculation Example

Invest ₹4,000 every month in a SIP.

Assume the return is 12% per year.

Invest for 20 years.

Increase your investment by 15% every year (Step-Up feature).

If you do this, you can get ₹1.21 crore after 20 years.

The total money you put in (principal) will be ₹4,91,700.

The rest, ₹7,18,500, comes from returns.

If you do not use the step-up, you will get only ₹3,95,700 after 20 years.
