What you could have had if every EMI rupee was compounded instead.
Assumption: The ₹10,97,20,310 figure assumes you continue investing the equivalent EMI amount as a monthly SIP for the full 30-year horizon — not just during the EMI tenure. For the 60-month-only scenario, the corpus at month 60 is ₹25,63,924 (shown above), which then compounds at 12% CAGR to ₹4,35,86,873 over the remaining 25 years if left untouched.
