What is a Weekly SIP?

In simple words, a weekly SIP is a method of investing in a fixed amount of mutual funds every week, usually on a specific weekday. It is a great middle ground between a daily and a monthly SIP, frequent enough to benefit from market fluctuations, yet not as time-intensive as investing every day.

When we talk about Systematic Investment Plans we usually think of conventional monthly SIPs as a fixed amount that gets deducted from our bank account every month, but SIPs are not just monthly. You can also set them up weekly. This allows you to invest smaller amounts more frequently and take advantage of the market movements more regularly.


Benefits of Weekly SIP Investments

A weekly SIP offers the perfect balance between frequency and flexibility. It allows you to stay consistent with your mutual fund investments while avoiding the need for daily contributions. Here are some additional benefits of a weekly SIP investment:

  • Investing every week will enable you to buy mutual fund units at different price points, helping you average out your cost per unit and reduce the impact of short-term market volatility.
  • For many investors, a weekly SIP might fit better with their income cycles, especially with freelancers, business owners, or those who prefer spreading out expenses rather than committing to a large monthly deduction.
  • You can start, pause, or modify your weekly SIP anytime on Dhan. It’s fully automated, so once you set it up, your investments continue without you spending much of your time.
  • Regular weekly deductions make investing a habit. Over time, this results in a steady wealth creation without actually worrying about market timing.

Weekly vs Monthly vs Daily SIP: Key Differences

All mutual fund SIPs share one common goal, which is to help you invest regularly and build wealth through discipline. However, what is not common is the frequency of investment, which can influence how your money grows and how you experience the market. Here’s how daily, weekly, and monthly SIPs differ:


Key DifferencesDaily SIP Weekly SIP Monthly SIP
Investment FrequencyEvery trading dayEvery weekEvery month
Best Suited ForInvestors who prefer consistency and daily participationThose who wish to invest regularly without daily commitmentsSalaried individuals or long-term investors
Rupee Cost AveragingStrongest rupee cost-averaging advantage as the money is spread across multiple market levels.Moderate rupee cost averaging advantage as it smooths out volatility.Cost averaging is comparatively less, but steady growth
Ease of ManagementRequires frequent transactionsEasier to manage with moderate frequencyVery easy and automated

How Does a Weekly SIP Calculator Work?

A systematic investment plan calculator helps you know the future value of your mutual fund investments when you invest a fixed amount every week. The calculator uses the principle of compound interest, where your investment grows as returns get reinvested over time.

It primarily takes three inputs: the amount you plan to invest weekly, the number of years you would want to stay invested for, and the expected annual rate of return. Based on this, the mutual fund SIP calculator automatically converts the annual returns into weekly returns and displays how much wealth you can build by the end of your investment period.

This will give you a clear picture of your total investment, estimated returns, and maturity value. This helps you to compare weekly SIPs with daily or monthly SIPs to see which suits your financial objectives.


Compound Interest Formula for Weekly SIP

To know the amount you will receive upon maturity of a Weekly SIP, also known as the Future Value (FV), the following formula is used:

FV = P × {(1 + r)^n - 1} / r × (1 + r)

Where:

  • FV = Future Value or maturity amount of the SIP
  • P = Weekly SIP amount
  • n = Total number of installments (weeks invested)
  • r = Weekly rate of return

Let’s understand this better with a simple example.

Suppose Mr. A invests ₹1,000 every week for 10 years in a mutual fund offering an annual return of 12%. To calculate the maturity value, we first need to find the weekly rate of return (r).

A common mistake is dividing 12% by 52 weeks, but that ignores compounding. The correct formula is:

Weekly Return = (1 + Annual Return) ^ (1/52) – 1

So,

r = (1 + 0.12) ^ (1/52) – 1

= 0.002183 or 0.2183% per week

Let’s plug in the values

  • P = ₹1,000
  • r ≈ 0.002183
  • n = 52 × 10 = 520 weeks

Now,

FV = 1,000 × 518 / 0.002183 × (1 + 0.002183)

After 10 years, the total corpus will be around ₹9.55 lakh. Out of this, ₹5.2 lakh is the total investment (₹1,000 × 520), and the remaining ₹4.35 lakh is the return earned through weekly compounding.

One key point to remember is that the rate of return on SIP is not fixed and might differ with market conditions.


How to Use the Dhan’s Weekly SIP Calculator

Dhan’s Weekly SIP return calculator is designed to help you plan your mutual fund investments more effectively. It’s quick, simple, and takes just a few easy steps:

  • Select your weekly investment amount (for example, ₹1,000 per week).
  • Choose your investment duration, such as 5 years or 10 years.
  • Enter your expected annual rate of return (for example, 12% per year).

The calculator will instantly show your estimated maturity amount, total investment, and potential mutual fund returns after compounding, helping you make better, more consistent investment decisions.


Why do you need a weekly SIP?

With a weekly SIP, you can buy mutual fund units regularly at different price levels, which provides a better rupee cost averaging advantage than the monthly SIPs. This approach combines the two most important aspects, discipline of consistent investing and flexibility of shorter intervals. Hence, it makes it an ideal approach for investors who want steady participation in the market without daily commitments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Some brokers have now made it possible to invest through weekly and daily SIPs, and Dhan is one of them. With Dhan’s weekly SIP feature, you can invest a fixed amount once a week in a mutual fund.
Here’s a quick guide on how to register for weekly SIP:
  • Firstly, log in or open your account on Dhan

  • Navigate to the mutual fund→ SIP section

  • Choose a “Weekly” frequency

  • Next, enter the daily amount, select the fund scheme, and complete the mandate (bank auto-debit) or payment setup.

  • Confirm and activate your weekly SIP

Yes, weekly SIPs are possible at Dhan. With that being said, they are less common than monthly SIPs, and hence, you need to check whether your chosen fund scheme and platform support the daily frequency.
A weekly SIP is a good option for investors as it combines the benefits of regular investing with a manageable frequency. By investing every week, you enjoy better rupee cost averaging than a monthly SIP and comparatively faster compounding over time. However, if you prefer simplicity and fewer transactions, a monthly SIP may suit you better.
