What formula does a SIP calculator use?

It uses future value formulas for recurring contributions with compounding.

How does step-up affect results?

Step-up increases contributions each year, raising total invested and final corpus.

What is real vs nominal value?

Real value adjusts for inflation; nominal value is the raw future amount.
