What is Daily SIP?

Daily SIP is a Systematic Investment Plan where you invest a fixed amount every business day instead of once a month. Platforms like Groww and Zerodha now support daily SIPs. The key benefit is more frequent compounding โ€” your money starts working for you every day instead of waiting until the next monthly instalment date.

Daily vs Monthly SIP

Daily SIP gives marginally higher returns than monthly SIP for the same total investment because:

  • More frequent compounding: Money compounds 365 times a year instead of 12, giving a slight edge.
  • Better rupee cost averaging: You buy units at 365 different price points instead of 12, smoothing out volatility even further.
  • Psychological ease: Investing โ‚น100/day feels easier than โ‚น3,000/month, even though it's the same.

However, the return difference is typically small โ€” around 0.1-0.3% annually. The real advantage is behavioral: daily investing builds a stronger savings habit.

How Daily SIP Returns are Calculated

Daily SIP uses the same future value formula as monthly SIP, but with daily compounding:

FV = D x (((1 + r)^n - 1) / r) x (1 + r)

Where D = daily investment, r = daily rate (annual rate / 365), and n = total days (years x 365). The comparison uses an equivalent monthly amount (daily x 30) with the standard monthly SIP formula.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which apps support daily SIP?
Several platforms in India now support daily SIP including Groww, Zerodha Coin, Paytm Money, and some AMC apps directly. Not all mutual funds offer daily SIP โ€” check with your preferred platform. Most daily SIPs execute on business days only (around 250 days/year), though the calculator uses 365 days for simplicity.
Is daily SIP better than monthly SIP?
Daily SIP gives marginally higher returns (0.1-0.3% more annually) due to more frequent compounding and better rupee cost averaging. However, the difference is small. The bigger advantage is behavioral โ€” investing โ‚น100/day feels more manageable than โ‚น3,000/month. Choose whichever you can sustain consistently.
What is the minimum amount for daily SIP?
Most platforms allow daily SIPs starting from โ‚น100 per day. Some AMCs may have different minimums. At โ‚น100/day, you are investing โ‚น3,000/month or โ‚น36,500/year โ€” a meaningful amount that can build significant wealth over 10-20 years.
Does daily SIP have better rupee cost averaging?
Yes. With daily SIP, you buy mutual fund units at 250+ different NAVs per year instead of 12. This means you capture more price points, including intra-month dips that monthly SIP would miss. In volatile markets, this additional averaging can slightly improve your average purchase cost.
