How this calculator works

Retirement planning starts with one honest question: what will today’s expenses look like when you stop working? This calculator inflates your current monthly spend to retirement age, then estimates a corpus that could support that spend at an assumed withdrawal/return rate.

It is a planning sketch — not a certified financial plan. Longevity, healthcare, and pension income all change the real number.

  1. Enter current age and target retirement age.
  2. Enter today’s monthly expenses (₹1,000 – ₹10 Lakh).
  3. Set expected inflation and post-retirement return (or safe withdrawal rate).
  4. See future monthly expense, corpus needed, and growth over time — results update live.

Formula

years = retirement_age − current_age future_monthly = expense × (1 + inflation/100)^years corpus = future_monthly × 12 / (return_rate/100)



(perpetuity-style estimate)

Practical use cases

Salaried professionals in their 30s–40s setting a first retirement target number.

Common mistakes

Ignoring healthcare inflation, or assuming you will spend exactly the same lifestyle forever.

Tips

Recalculate every few years as income, dependents, and goals change.

Important notes

Illustrative perpetuity model. A 4% rule would use 4% instead of a higher return/withdrawal rate for a more conservative corpus.

FAQs

It is a simple perpetuity model: corpus × rate ≈ annual expense. A 4% rule would use 4 instead of 10 — more conservative.

Yes if you will still pay rent or society maintenance. Build a realistic expense list before trusting any corpus number.

How future annual expenses and the corpus needed climb as years to retirement increase under your inflation and rate assumptions.
