How It Works

Enter your current age, retirement age, and life expectancy. Add your current savings and monthly investment. The calculator grows your corpus at the expected pre-retirement return, then computes how much monthly income it can sustain post-retirement — accounting for inflation eroding purchasing power. The gap shows how much more you need to save.

Formula

Corpus = PV × (1+r)^n + PMT × [(1+r)^n − 1] / r; Monthly Income = Corpus × r / [1 − (1+r)^(−withdrawal years × 12)]

Frequently Asked Questions

How much corpus do I need to retire?

A common rule is the 25× rule: multiply your annual expenses by 25. With a 4% withdrawal rate, a corpus of ₹2.5Cr sustains ₹10L/year expenses. Adjust upward for inflation and longer life expectancy.

What return rate should I use for retirement planning?

Use 10–12% for equity-heavy pre-retirement portfolios and 6–7% for conservative post-retirement portfolios. For inflation, use 6% in India. Always use real (inflation-adjusted) returns for a more honest picture.

What is the 4% withdrawal rule?

The 4% rule suggests withdrawing 4% of your corpus in year 1, then adjusting for inflation each year. Research shows this sustains a portfolio for 30+ years in most market conditions. In India's higher-inflation environment, a 3–3.5% rate is safer.

Should I account for inflation in retirement planning?

Absolutely. At 6% inflation, ₹1L of expenses today becomes ₹1.8L in 10 years and ₹3.2L in 20 years. If you don't inflation-adjust, you'll dramatically underestimate how much corpus you need.
