About Axis Mutual Fund
Axis Mutual Fund is one of the well known asset management companies in India. It offers a wide range of mutual fund schemes across equity, debt, hybrid, index and solution oriented categories. Investors can start a SIP in any of its open ended schemes with a small monthly amount.
Axis Mutual Fund is sponsored by Axis Bank and is popular for its equity funds such as bluechip, midcap and ELSS schemes.
How does the Axis Bank SIP calculator work?
This calculator uses the standard SIP formula that applies to all mutual fund SIPs, including Axis Mutual Fund schemes. It assumes you invest at the start of every month and returns are compounded monthly.
M = P × [ ( (1 + i)^n − 1 ) / i ] × (1 + i)
- M = Maturity amount
- P = Monthly SIP amount
- i = Monthly rate of return, worked out from the yearly rate as (1 + yearly rate)^(1/12) − 1
- n = Total number of installments
Example: A SIP of ₹5,000 per month in a Axis Mutual Fund equity scheme for 15 years at an expected 12% return gives a total investment of ₹9,00,000 and an estimated value of about ₹25,00,000.
