Pick a target from ₹1 crore to ₹10 crore. The grid shows the monthly SIP it needs in each vehicle, from a bank FD's near-certain 6% to a small-cap fund's hoped-for 15%, across 5 to 30 years. Two levers decide everything: the return you chase, and the years you give it. Only one of them is free.

Your target will shrink on the way. ₹1 Cr arriving in - buys what - buys today, at 6% inflation. Still worth the climb, just know what's at the top.
To arrive with today's buying power intact: aim for - instead, which needs - a month in a large cap fund at 12%. Bigger number, same dream, honest maths.
