SIP vs RD Calculator
Put a monthly SIP and a recurring deposit side by side to see which habit grows your money faster.
Year-wise comparison
| Year | SIP value | RD value |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | ₹64,047 | ₹62,210 |
| 2 | ₹1,36,216 | ₹1,28,694 |
| 3 | ₹2,17,538 | ₹1,99,746 |
| 4 | ₹3,09,174 | ₹2,75,679 |
| 5 | ₹4,12,432 | ₹3,56,829 |
SIP or RD — one habit, two engines
A SIP and a recurring deposit are the same discipline — a fixed amount set aside every month — routed to the same monthly habit through two different engines. An RD pays a rate your bank or post office contracts on day one, guaranteed to the last rupee. A SIP buys mutual fund units whose value moves with the market: historically higher over long periods, but never promised.
This calculator runs one monthly amount through both engines over the same tenure — each side at its own rate — and shows the two maturity values, the gap between them and a year-by-year comparison so you can see when the gap starts to matter.
How each side is computed
SIP: FV = P × [((1 + i)ⁿ − 1) ÷ i] × (1 + i)
- P — the monthly amount (both sides use the same)
- i — the monthly SIP rate: expected annual return ÷ 12
- n — number of instalments (years × 12)
The SIP side treats each instalment as invested at the start of the month (annuity-due), the standard platform convention. The RD side follows the bank and post-office convention: interest compounded quarterly at one-fourth of the annual rate. Each side matches our standalone SIP and RD calculators exactly.
How to use this calculator
- Enter the monthly investment — the amount you can commit every month.
- Set the time period in years.
- Set the SIP expected return — 12% p.a. is a common long-term planning assumption for equity funds.
- Set the RD interest rate — the default 6.7% matches the current post-office 5-year RD rate, which the government notifies quarterly and can revise.
The results show the amount invested, both maturity values, the difference and a verdict, with a year-wise table underneath.
A worked example
₹5,000 a month for 5 years — SIP at 12% p.a. vs RD at 6.7% p.a.:
- Amount invested (both sides): 60 × ₹5,000 = ₹3,00,000
- SIP maturity value: ₹4,12,431.83
- RD maturity value: ₹3,56,829.14
- Difference: ₹55,602.69 in the SIP's favour
After year one the gap is small — ₹64,046.64 vs ₹62,210.16, about ₹1,836 — but compounding widens it every year. The SIP figure assumes markets deliver 12%; actual fund returns vary and can be lower.
SIP vs RD at a glance
| SIP (mutual fund) | Recurring deposit | |
|---|---|---|
| Return type | Market-linked — varies with the fund | Contracted — fixed on the day you open it |
| Typical rate | 10–14% p.a. assumed for equity over long periods | 6.5–7.5% p.a.; post-office RD is currently 6.7% |
| Risk | Value can fall below the amount invested | Guaranteed; bank deposits insured up to ₹5,00,000 by DICGC |
| Tax on gains | Equity funds: 12.5% LTCG beyond ₹1,25,000 a year | Interest taxed at your slab; TDS past the threshold |
| Early exit | Redeem any time; exit load may apply early on | Premature closure allowed with an interest penalty |
Rates shown are current and revisable — government small-savings rates are notified quarterly, and equity returns are assumptions, not promises.
Yes — the rate is contracted when you open the account and holds for the full tenure. Bank deposits are additionally insured by DICGC up to ₹5,00,000 per depositor per bank; post-office deposits carry a sovereign guarantee.
Interest is added to your income and taxed at your slab rate. Banks deduct TDS once your interest crosses the annual threshold — ₹50,000 for most depositors and ₹1,00,000 for senior citizens from FY 2025-26. TDS is not extra tax; it adjusts against your final liability when you file.
For equity funds, units held over 12 months produce long-term gains taxed at 12.5% beyond ₹1,25,000 a year; units held 12 months or less are taxed at 20%. Debt fund gains are generally taxed at your slab. These rates are current and can be revised.
Yes. SIP returns are market-linked — over short periods equity can trail an RD or even lose money. Set the SIP rate lower in the calculator and watch the verdict flip; the 12% default is a long-term assumption, not a floor.
A common rule of thumb: money needed within 2–3 years, or money that must not shrink, suits an RD; goals 5+ years away can consider equity SIPs, accepting the swings along the way. Many savers run both. This is information, not investment advice.
