Frequently Asked Questions
How is the required monthly SIP calculated for a financial goal?
The required SIP is reverse-calculated using the annuity formula: SIP = Target / [ (((1 + i)^n - 1) / i) * (1 + i) ], where 'i' represents the expected monthly interest rate (annual rate / 12), and 'n' represents the total number of compounding monthly periods (years * 12).
How does target goal planning help retail investors?
Target goal planning sets clear saving targets, preventing under-investing or taking on unnecessary portfolio risks. It links savings to tangible real-world timelines, helping you choose the right balance of equity and debt assets for your target horizon.

From Dream to Number: How Goal-Based Investing Actually Works
"I want to retire comfortably" is not a financial goal. "I want ₹4 crore by age 55 to generate ₹1.2 lakh/month in passive income, and I have 22 years to get there" is a financial goal. The difference between these two statements is everything.
Goal-based investing flips the investment process. Instead of asking "what should I invest in?", it asks "what am I investing for?" Each goal gets its own timeline, required corpus, and appropriate asset allocation. A vacation fund in 18 months goes into a debt fund. A child's college fund in 12 years goes heavily into equity. Your retirement corpus in 25 years goes almost entirely into diversified equity and index funds.
The goal planner calculates the monthly SIP needed to reach your target. The math is straightforward but the output is sobering: retiring with ₹5 crore in 20 years at 12% returns requires a ₹51,700 monthly SIP. Many people realise they need to start earlier, save more aggressively, or adjust their retirement lifestyle target.
The earlier you define the goal, the more time compounding has to do the work. Define the goal clearly, attach a rupee amount and a date, calculate the monthly contribution, and automate it. Then move on with your life and let the system work.
