How Step-Up SIP Works
Start with Initial Amount
Begin your SIP with a comfortable monthly investment amount (e.g., ₹5,000)
Set Step-Up Percentage
Choose an annual increment rate (typically 10-15% matching salary growth)
Automatic Annual Increase
Your monthly investment grows each year (Year 1: ₹5,000 → Year 2: ₹5,500 → Year 3: ₹6,050...)
Accelerated Wealth Creation
Benefit from higher investments in later years, compounding significantly over time

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Step-Up SIP and how is it different from regular SIP?
A Step-Up SIP automatically increases your monthly investment by a fixed percentage every year, unlike regular SIP where the amount stays constant. This helps you invest more as your income grows, accelerating wealth creation significantly over time.
What is the ideal step-up percentage?
Most financial experts recommend a 10-15% annual step-up, which typically aligns with salary increments. However, you can start lower (5-7%) if you're uncertain about future income growth, or go higher (20-30%) if you're in a high-growth career phase.
How much more wealth can I create with Step-Up SIP?
With a 10% annual step-up over 20 years, you can create 2-3 times more wealth compared to a regular SIP with the same starting amount. The longer the investment period and higher the step-up rate, the more dramatic the difference becomes.
Can I modify the step-up percentage later?
Yes, most mutual funds allow you to modify your step-up percentage or temporarily pause increases during financial difficulties. You can also reduce the step-up rate if your income growth slows down, making it a flexible investment strategy.
Who should invest in Step-Up SIP?
Step-Up SIP is ideal for salaried professionals expecting regular increments, young investors with growing careers, business owners with increasing income, and anyone looking to combat lifestyle inflation by systematically increasing investments.
Is there a minimum tenure for Step-Up SIP?
While there's no mandatory minimum tenure, Step-Up SIP works best over long periods (10+ years) to maximize the compounding benefit. You can stop or pause anytime, but staying invested longer amplifies the wealth creation effect of increasing contributions.
