Mutual Fund SIP Calculator: Mutual fund investment through a systematic investment plan (SIP) is an effective way of investing for people who don’t have a large lump sum amount but want to create a sizeable corpus in a few years. While SIP investment helps with cost averaging by purchasing net asset value (NAV) in different proportions at different investment intervals, it also provides the benefit of compound returns. If one is consistent in their investments, they can create a huge corpus in the long run, even if their monthly SIP is small. The 15X15X15 formula is one such technique of investing in mutual funds. It may help you achieve a Rs 1 crore corpus in 15 years, even if you start investing at the age of 30. Know what the 15X15X15 formula is and how it may help you build over Rs 1 crore corpus in 15 years. 

What is 15X15X15 formula? How can it help you build over Rs 1 crore corpus?

As per this formula, if you invest Rs 15,000 a month in mutual funds through SIP for 15 years in a row and get a 15 per cent return on it, you can build over a Rs 1 crore corpus.
