Retirement planner

Retirement is the only goal you cannot borrow for. It is also the one where inflation does the most damage, because it keeps working for twenty or thirty years after your income has stopped.

Projected corpusContributed

Why the corpus looks so large

Your income stops but inflation does not. Discounting at the real post-retirement rate of 1.89% — your 8.0% return less 6.0% inflation — is what accounts for a withdrawal that has to keep rising for 25 years. A calculator that discounts at the nominal rate will quote you a much smaller and much less useful number.

What this does differently

  • Your withdrawal is inflated every year of retirement, and the corpus is discounted at the real post-retirement rate. Many calculators discount at the nominal rate, which quotes a far smaller corpus and is the most common reason retirement plans fall short.
  • EPF, PPF and NPS balances should go in the “already saved” field. They are assumed to grow at the pre-retirement rate, which is generous for EPF and PPF — you may want to run it again with a lower rate.
  • No pension, rental income or property sale is modelled. If you expect any of those, your requirement is lower than shown.
  • Medical costs in later life inflate faster than general prices and are not separated out here.

Want this turned into an actual plan?

A calculator gives you a number. Choosing the schemes, the split between equity and debt, and the order you fund your goals in is the part that needs a conversation. Leave your number and we will call you — there is no charge for the discussion, and no obligation to invest.
