How the retirement calculator works
It applies the selected inflation, time-horizon, and return assumptions to your current monthly expense and shows the resulting arithmetic figures. It does not establish a sufficient retirement corpus, a suitable withdrawal level, or a monthly SIP recommendation.
How timing changes this illustration
Changing the selected retirement date changes the illustration because it changes both the contribution period and the assumed expense path. The result is not a recommendation to start, increase, or select a particular contribution amount.

Formula: Inflate annual expenses to retirement; discount a level real annual expense annuity across the selected retirement horizon; fund the modelled amount with beginning-of-month contributions.
Educational boundary: Under-review scenario only; it does not establish a sufficient corpus, suitable contribution, withdrawal plan, or personalised advice.
Included: One constant monthly expense inflated to retirement; A level real annual-spending annuity and beginning-of-month contribution scenario
Excluded: Existing assets, pensions, EPF/NPS, fees, tax and other income; Sequence risk, longevity uncertainty, health costs, irregular spending and suitability
Inputs: currentAge (whole years; 18–59; default 30, existing public route default) · retirementAge (whole years; 40–70; default 60, existing public route default) · monthlyExpense (INR; 5000–1000000; default 50000, existing public route default) · annualInflationPercent (percent per year; 2–10; default 6, existing public route default) · annualPreRetirementReturnPercent (percent per year; 5–20; default 12, existing public route default) · annualPostRetirementReturnPercent (percent per year; 0–15; default 7, previously hidden public-route constant, now exposed for review) · lifeExpectancyAge (whole years; 70–100; default 85, existing public route default)
Outputs: modelledCorpus (INR; raw calculation; displayed rounded to nearest rupee) · modelledMonthlyContribution (INR; raw calculation; displayed rounded to nearest rupee) · monthlyExpenseAtRetirement (INR; raw calculation; displayed rounded to nearest rupee)
Assumptions: All entered rates remain constant. Expenses are level in real terms during retirement and contributions occur at the start of each month.
- Under product and legal review; not a sufficient corpus, suitable contribution, withdrawal rule, forecast, recommendation, or personalised plan.
- Constant inflation and returns, annual retirement spending, no existing assets or other income, and no fees, tax, sequence risk, longevity uncertainty, health costs, or cash-flow variation.
- The newly visible post-retirement return replaces the prior hidden 7% route constant.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do I need to retire?
This page models arithmetic from selected expenses, inflation, time horizon, and return inputs. It does not establish a sufficient corpus, a suitable monthly contribution, or a retirement plan, and it remains under product and legal review.
Why inflate today's expenses?
For illustration, ₹50,000 of expenses today would be about ₹2 lakh a month in 30 years at 6% annual inflation. The model applies the inflation assumption you select; it is not a forecast or a sufficient-target conclusion.
Can this tool identify a safe withdrawal rate?
No. A percentage rule of thumb cannot determine a suitable withdrawal level. The model does not account for every source of income, tax, fee, health, market, or life-change risk, and its output is only a scenario illustration while review is incomplete.
Is this a personalized retirement plan?
No. A real plan may account for assets, pensions, EPF/NPS, healthcare, tax, fees, sequence risk, longevity and changing goals. This output is only an under-review arithmetic scenario, not a target.
