Retirement Planning Calculator

Plan your retirement by calculating the corpus needed and monthly SIP required to achieve your retirement goals considering inflation and life expectancy.

Example Calculation

Scenario:

Age 30, retire at 60, current monthly expenses ₹50,000, 6% inflation

Calculation:

Future monthly need: ₹2.43L; For 25 years post-retirement: ₹4.04 crore needed

Result:

Monthly SIP required: ₹33,000 (at 12% return for 30 years)

Key Points

  • Consider current expenses, inflation, and life expectancy after retirement
  • Typical inflation assumption: 6-7% for India
  • Post-retirement return assumption: 7-8% (conservative)
  • Pre-retirement investment return: 10-12% (equity-focused)
  • Rule of thumb: Need 25-30x annual expenses as retirement corpus
  • Start early: Power of compounding dramatically reduces monthly SIP needed
  • Diversify across EPF, PPF, NPS, mutual funds, and other instruments

Tax Implications:

  • Use tax-saving investments: 80C (₹1.5L), 80CCD(1B) - NPS (₹50K)
  • Senior citizen benefits: Higher interest on FD/SCSS, ₹50K 80D deduction
  • Post-retirement: Structure withdrawals to minimize tax (use LTCG exemptions)
  • Consider annuity/pension products for guaranteed income
