Target 10 Crore Corpus: You can set your financial goals as per your future requirements. There is no standard corpus size for anyone as it can be different for any two people with different income and ambitions. But having a substantial amount in your corpus may make you confident to take financial decisions independently and confidentially. In the same vein, having Rs 10 crore in your corpus may help you achieve many financial goals. But the question is, how may you reach there? Or if you know the ways, how much to invest periodically or one time to reach there may be your next concern. Investment returns are not linear. While market-linked investments can give different returns every year, non-market-linked returns may also vary in a frequently changing interest rate scenario. Plus taxation rules also keep changing. But one should keep revising their strategy to maintain the pace of their investment return. Through our projections, we tell you the estimated monthly systematic investment plan (SIP) investment amount you may require to generate a Rs 10 crore corpus if you are 20, 30, 40, or 50 years old.
Benefits of starting to invest early
The early starter of an investment gets more years for compounding compared to an investor who begins their investment journey late. The difference may not be visible in the initial few years, but as time passes, the gulf widens and the early starter’s returns develop a huge gap. Let’s see if A (age 25) and B (age 35) want to get an Rs 5 crore corpus by 60 years of age; what can be their monthly SIP investment to reach there at 12 per cent annualised growth.
A has 35 years to invest and can achieve the target with an estimated monthly SIP amount of Rs 9,080 and a total investment of Rs 38,13,600.
B has 25 years to invest and can reach the goal with an estimated monthly SIP investment of Rs 29,380 and a total investment of Rs 88,14,000.
You can see that in B’s case, the total investment is more than 2.30 times that of A’s. It’s because A got 10 extra years for compound growth of their investment.
