When markets rally, your existing accumulated units appreciate. Over complete market cycles, this eliminates the need to time the market and lowers the average acquisition cost per unit.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>What is the advantage of a Step-Up SIP over a regular fixed SIP?<\/h3>\n<div>\n<p>A regular SIP remains static while your income grows with promotions and annual increments. A Step-Up SIP increases your investment contribution in tandem with your growing earning capacity (e.g., increasing by 10% each year). As demonstrated in the comparison table, stepping up an investment can yield more than double the wealth over a 20-year investment horizon.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Calculate wealth creation with our advanced SIP calculator: Basic monthly SIP, annual Step-Up modeling, goal-based reverse calculation, and inflation-adjusted real returns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kr_title_hi":"","_kr_excerpt_hi":"","_kr_content_hi":"","_kr_takeaways_hi":"","footnotes":"","_kriyasya_companion_story_id":0,"_kriyasya_story_eligible":false,"_kriyasya_story_exclusion_reason":"","_kriyasya_world_key":"","_kriyasya_world_bridge_enabled":false,"_kriyasya_audio_in_world":false},"categories":[80],"tags":[],"kriyasya_format":[],"kriyasya_editorial_origin":[],"kriyasya_content_kind":[],"kriyasya_devotional_focus":[],"kriyasya_tradition":[],"kriyasya_language":[],"kriyasya_observance":[],"kriyasya_healing_modality":[],"class_list":["post-31987","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-tools"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kriyasya.com\/pulse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31987","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kriyasya.com\/pulse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kriyasya.com\/pulse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kriyasya.com\/pulse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kriyasya.com\/pulse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=31987"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/kriyasya.com\/pulse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31987\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":32045,"href":"https:\/\/kriyasya.com\/pulse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31987\/revisions\/32045"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kriyasya.com\/pulse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31987"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kriyasya.com\/pulse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=31987"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kriyasya.com\/pulse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=31987"},{"taxonomy":"kriyasya_format","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kriyasya.com\/pulse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kriyasya_format?post=31987"},{"taxonomy":"kriyasya_editorial_origin","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kriyasya.com\/pulse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kriyasya_editorial_origin?post=31987"},{"taxonomy":"kriyasya_content_kind","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kriyasya.com\/pulse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kriyasya_content_kind?post=31987"},{"taxonomy":"kriyasya_devotional_focus","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kriyasya.com\/pulse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kriyasya_devotional_focus?post=31987"},{"taxonomy":"kriyasya_tradition","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kriyasya.com\/pulse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kriyasya_tradition?post=31987"},{"taxonomy":"kriyasya_language","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kriyasya.com\/pulse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kriyasya_language?post=31987"},{"taxonomy":"kriyasya_observance","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kriyasya.com\/pulse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kriyasya_observance?post=31987"},{"taxonomy":"kriyasya_healing_modality","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kriyasya.com\/pulse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kriyasya_healing_modality?post=31987"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
