Formula & Worked Example

The math behind the Retirement Corpus Calculator

Mathematical Formula

Corpus = \frac{E \times (1+g)^y \times 12}{r_{post} - g} \times \left[1 - \left(\frac{1+g}{1+r_{post}}\right)^{L}\right]
Where: - **E** = Current Monthly Expenses - **g** = Inflation Rate - **y** = Years to Retirement - **r_post** = Post-Retirement Return Rate - **L** = Retirement Duration (Life Expectancy − Retirement Age) - Monthly SIP needed = (Corpus − FV of Existing Savings) adjusted for pre-retirement returns

Step-by-Step Worked Example

Age 30, Retire at 60, Life expectancy 85, Expenses ₹50,000/mo, 6% inflation: - Expenses at retirement = 50,000 × (1.06)^30 ≈ **₹2,87,175/month** - Corpus needed for 25 years = ≈ **₹5.4 Crore** - Monthly SIP at 12% return = ≈ **₹15,200/month** starting today

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about the Retirement Corpus Calculator

How much money do I need to retire in India?
A common rule of thumb: 25-30 times your annual expenses at retirement. If you need ₹1 Lakh/month at age 60, that is ₹12L/year, so you need ₹3-3.6 Crore corpus. However, you must account for inflation — ₹50,000/month today equals ~₹2.87L/month in 30 years at 6% inflation.
What is the 4% safe withdrawal rule?
The 4% rule suggests you can withdraw 4% of your corpus annually (adjusted for inflation) without running out of money for 30+ years. For India, a 3-3.5% withdrawal rate may be safer due to higher inflation. ₹3 Crore corpus → ~₹1 Lakh/month withdrawal.
At what age should I start planning for retirement?
As early as possible! Starting at 25 vs 35 means you need to save roughly half the monthly amount for the same corpus. A 5-year head start can reduce required monthly savings by 40%. Even ₹5,000/month SIP started at 25 can grow to ₹2 Crore by 60 at 12% returns.
Should I include EPF/PPF in my retirement planning?
Yes! EPF and PPF are significant retirement assets. Include your current EPF balance + projected contributions, PPF maturity, NPS corpus, and any real estate you plan to liquidate. Then calculate the gap between what you have and what you need.
What return rate should I assume for retirement planning?
Conservative approach: 10-12% pre-retirement (equity-heavy portfolio), 7-8% post-retirement (debt-heavy). Aggressive: 13-15% pre, 9-10% post. Always use 6% inflation for India. Use real returns (nominal - inflation) for more accurate planning.
