STP Calculator

What is STP Calculator?

A Systematic Transfer Plan (STP) calculator projects the value of transferring a lump sum from one mutual fund to another in fixed monthly instalments — typically from a debt fund to an equity fund.

STPs let you enter the market gradually, reducing timing risk while keeping your money earning in a debt fund.

How does the STP Calculator work?

Each month, a fixed amount moves from the source fund to the target fund, where it grows at the target fund's return rate.

The remaining balance in the source fund continues to earn the source fund's return.

How to use the STP Calculator?

1. Enter the total lump sum amount.
2. Enter the monthly transfer amount.
3. Enter the expected returns of both funds and the tenure.
4. The calculator shows the final value of both legs.
