Understanding Retirement Planning Calculator
Retirement planning answers one core question: will your corpus support your lifestyle for 20–30 years after you stop earning? Inflation makes this harder than it looks — ₹60,000 of monthly expenses today may need much more at age 60.
How this calculator works
The calculator inflates current expenses to retirement age, estimates the corpus needed for post-retirement years (after pension), grows your existing corpus, and shows the monthly SIP or lumpsum required to bridge the gap.
Example
A 35-year-old spending ₹60,000 per month, retiring at 60 and living to 85, often needs a multi-crore corpus — which is why starting SIPs in the 30s matters so much.
Practical tips
- Increase SIP with every salary hike (step-up SIP).
- Use a mix of equity (pre-retirement) and safer assets (near and after retirement).
- Do not ignore healthcare costs in retirement budgets.
Limitations
Assumptions about returns, inflation, and life expectancy are estimates. Review the plan every few years.
