Retirement Calculator

Retirement planning is the process of determining your retirement income goals and the actions and decisions necessary to achieve those goals. This calculator helps you estimate the exact corpus you will need to comfortably retire, factoring in inflation and life expectancy.

How does the Retirement Calculator work?

The calculator performs two main steps:

  1. Future Expense Calculation: It inflates your current monthly expenses to what they will cost in the future when you actually retire, using the expected inflation rate.
  2. Corpus Calculation: It then calculates the lump sum required on your retirement day to sustain those inflated monthly expenses for the rest of your life (up to a life expectancy of 85), factoring in the return you expect to earn on the corpus during retirement.
Example:

Current Age: 30
Retirement Age: 60 (Years to retire = 30)
Current Expenses: ₹50,000/month
Inflation: 6%

Step 1: In 30 years, due to 6% inflation, your ₹50k lifestyle will cost ₹2,87,174 per month!
Step 2: To sustain ₹2.87 Lakhs/month from age 60 to 85, assuming your corpus earns 8% post-retirement, you will need a target corpus of approximately ₹6.49 Crores.

Why use a Retirement Calculator?

  • Reality Check: Most people underestimate the devastating effect of inflation over 20-30 years.
  • Goal Setting: Gives you a clear numerical target so you can reverse-engineer how much SIP you need to start today.
  • Adjustable: You can play with the retirement age to see if you can afford to retire early (FIRE).

Frequently Asked Questions

How much corpus do I need for retirement?
Your required corpus depends on your current monthly expenses, the number of years left to retire, expected inflation, and your life expectancy. This calculator factors in all these variables.
How does inflation affect my retirement planning?
Inflation reduces the purchasing power of money over time. The calculator adjusts your future expenses to reflect realistic inflation.
What is the 4% withdrawal rule?
The 4% rule suggests that if you withdraw 4% of your total retirement corpus annually (adjusted for inflation), your money should theoretically last for 30 years without running out.
