Monthly SIP needed
₹21,497
For 8 years until the wedding
What this means
A ₹20.0L wedding today becomes ₹34.4L in 8 years at 7% inflation. A ₹21.5K/month SIP gets you there. Most Indian weddings cost more than expected — keep 10–20% headroom for unplanned items (venue upgrade, extra guests, last-minute jewellery).

Wedding goal
For your own wedding, a child's, or a sibling's — the maths is identical. Budget realistically; weddings tend to overshoot.
Cover venue, catering, jewellery, attire, travel, gifts. Indian weddings overshoot estimates by 30–50% on average.
Assumptions
Use a balanced fund for <5 year goals — equity risk is too high for short horizons.
