Mutual funds have become a favorite investment option for investors these days. Most people choose SIPs for investment. SIPs essentially offer the opportunity to invest in installments, which reduces the investment amount and can help build a significant corpus even with small investments. Investing in SIPs is a long-term commitment that will take time before you see any results. We can see how long it would take to reach ₹20 Lakhs with a ₹5000 annual investment by using an SIP calculator.

A person who invests ₹5000 each month for 14 years at a 12% interest rate will reach ₹20 Lakhs. This means that the principal amount of ₹840000 after 14 years will have grown to ₹1,342,000 simply through the interest gained during those 14 years bearing an annual interest rate of 12% which equates to an overall investment + interest of ₹2,182,000.
