What is a Step-Up (Top-Up) SIP?

A Step-Up SIP automatically increases your monthly mutual fund investment amount annually by a fixed percentage (e.g. 10%) or a fixed rupee amount as your salary grows over time.

How much faster can a Step-Up SIP build wealth compared to a normal SIP?

Increasing your SIP contribution by just 10% annually can build up to 50% to 80% larger retirement corpus over a 15–20 year horizon compared to a flat SIP.
