How ICICI Prudential Mutual Fund SIPs work
ICICI Prudential Mutual Fund is a joint venture between ICICI Bank and Prudential plc, and one of India’s largest AMCs by AUM. An SIP with ICICI Prudential operates identically to any other SEBI-regulated SIP: a fixed amount is auto-debited from your bank account on the SIP date, and units are allotted at that day’s NAV. The SEBI standard formula — FV = P × ((1+r)^n − 1)/r × (1+r) — governs the projection regardless of AMC. This calculator uses that formula; the “ICICI” framing is purely for search relevance.

| Mid/small-cap equity | 13–17% | 12–14% |
| Hybrid (balanced) | 9–11% | 8–10% |
| Debt | 6–8% | 6–7% |
| ELSS (tax-saver) | 11–14% | 10–12% |
