📖 Step-Up SIP for Nepal Mutual Fund Investors
- Step-Up SIP (Top-Up SIP) increases your monthly SIP by a fixed % every year — usually matched to your salary increment. A 10% step-up on a रू 5,000 SIP becomes रू 5,500 in year 2, रू 6,050 in year 3, and so on.
- Why it works: Compounding magnifies even small annual increments. Over 15–20 years, a step-up SIP can produce 40–60% more wealth than a flat SIP for the same effort level.
- Where to invest in Nepal: Open-ended SEBON-regulated mutual funds — Nabil Flexi Cap, NMB Sulav Investment, NIBL Sahabhagita, Laxmi Equity, Siddhartha Equity, Citizens Mutual Fund, Sanima Large Cap, and more.
- Long-term equity returns: Nepal equity-oriented mutual funds have historically delivered 10–18% p.a. over rolling 5+ year horizons. Past returns do not guarantee future performance.
- Tax: Capital gains on redemption are taxable per the Nepal Income Tax Act 2058. SIPs do not qualify for tax deductions like 80C in India — Nepal follows different tax rules.
- How to start: Open a Demat account with NIBL Ace Capital, NMB Capital, Nabil Invest, or another registrar; complete KYC; subscribe to your chosen scheme via direct mandate or standing instruction with your bank.
- Pro tip: Set the step-up date right after your annual appraisal — that way the SIP increase is funded by your raise instead of biting into your existing budget.
⚠️ For illustration only. Actual returns vary with NAV / market conditions. This is not financial advice. Read all scheme documents and consult a SEBI/SEBON-registered advisor before investing.

Important Things to Remember
Return Assumption (Expected Annual Return)
Nepal equity mutual funds historically give around 10 to 18% returns as dividends, which may be different from company to company, market status and other factors. So, the expected returns that you entered are just an assumption for these calculations.
Step-Up Percentage
Match it with your expected salary increase. Most people in Nepal get 8-12% annual raises.
Compounding
Always use Monthly as your compounding frequency – this is standard for Nepal mutual funds.
Taxes
Your final amount will be taxed when you withdraw. The Step-Up Calculator doesn’t include tax calculations, so plan for that.
SEBON Registered Funds
Invest only in mutual funds registered with SEBON. Popular options include Nabil Flexi Cap, NMB Sulav, NIBL Sahabhagita, and others.
