Map out your entire retirement journey. Factor in your EPF, PPF, Mutual Funds, and ongoing SIPs to see if you are on track to achieve financial freedom.
Required at age 60
Based on current assets & SIPs
Many retirement calculators only look at mutual funds or give a raw target number. In reality, salaried individuals accumulate a significant portion of their wealth in debt instruments like EPF (Employees' Provident Fund) and PPF. Factoring these in gives a realistic picture of your shortfall.
If you expect a pension, rental income, or royalties post-retirement, it drastically reduces the corpus you need to build. This calculator subtracts your expected monthly income from your future expenses to calculate the Net Annual Need.
Pre-Retirement: You have a regular salary, so you can take risks. A higher allocation to Equity (10-15% return) is recommended.
Post-Retirement: Capital preservation is the goal. You shift to Debt/Hybrid funds (7-9% return). The calculator uses different rates for these two phases.
If the calculator shows a shortfall, the "Additional SIP Required" tells you exactly how much more you need to invest every month in equity to bridge the gap. Start small and step-up your SIPs every year!
A basic calculator only looks at your expenses and gives a target corpus. A comprehensive planner takes into account your existing assets (like EPF, PPF, Mutual Funds) and your ongoing monthly investments to tell you exactly where you stand and if you have a shortfall.
Post-retirement, your focus shifts from wealth creation to capital preservation and regular income. Therefore, a significant portion of your corpus is moved to safer debt instruments. A conservative estimate for post-retirement return in India is around 7% to 9%, depending on your asset allocation.
Inflation is the silent killer of wealth. An inflation rate of 6% means the cost of living doubles roughly every 12 years. Your retirement corpus must be large enough to generate returns that beat inflation, ensuring your purchasing power doesn't drop as you age.
Generally, no. Unless you plan to sell your house and downsize or move to a cheaper city, your primary residence will not generate income to fund your daily expenses. Only include liquid assets and investments meant for retirement.
If you have a shortfall, you have a few options: 1) Increase your monthly SIP/investments today. 2) Delay your retirement by a few years to give your corpus more time to compound. 3) Reduce your expected post-retirement lifestyle expenses. 4) Look for part-time income post-retirement.
