The 4% Rule & Withdrawal Rates
Financial experts often cite the "4% Rule" as a safe withdrawal rate. Our calculator allows you to customize this rate based on your risk tolerance and market outlook.
Inflation Impact
A monthly expense of ₹50,000 today could become ₹1.5 Lakhs in 20 years due to inflation. We automatically adjust your future needs so you aren't caught off guard.

How to Plan for a Secure Retirement
Planning for retirement is a multi-step process that evolves as you age. Here is a strategic approach to using our calculator effectively:
- Assess Your Current Situation: Start by entering your current age, savings, and monthly expenses. Be honest about your spending habits.
- Set Realistic Goals: Determine your desired retirement age. Early retirement requires significantly higher savings rates.
- Account for Inflation: Inflation is the silent killer of wealth. A standard rate is 6%, but this can vary. Our calculator adjusts your future expenses automatically.
- Diversify Investments: During your working years (Accumulation Phase), you might aim for higher returns (10-12%) through equity. In retirement (Distribution Phase), capital preservation becomes key, often leading to lower returns (6-8%).
Common Retirement Planning Mistakes
Underestimating Life Expectancy
Living longer than expected is a "good" problem, but it requires more money. Plan for at least 85-90 years.
Ignoring Healthcare Costs
Medical expenses rise significantly with age. Ensure your monthly expense estimates include insurance premiums.
Starting Too Late
The power of compounding works best over time. Starting 5 years earlier can double your final corpus.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How much money do I need to retire in India?▼
There is no single number, but a common rule of thumb is 25-30 times your annual expenses. For example, if your annual expense is ₹6 Lakhs, you might need ₹1.5 Crores to ₹1.8 Crores. Our calculator gives you a precise number based on your specific inflation and lifestyle inputs.
What is a Step-Up SIP?▼
A Step-Up SIP allows you to increase your monthly investment amount by a fixed percentage every year (e.g., 10% increase). This aligns with your salary hikes and drastically increases your final corpus compared to a fixed SIP.
Should I include my home in retirement savings?▼
Generally, no. Your primary residence is an asset you use, not one you can easily spend. Unless you plan to sell it and downsize (Reverse Mortgage), it's safer to exclude it from your liquid retirement corpus.
