Frequently asked questions

How is the corpus worked out?

Today’s expenses are inflated to your retirement age. The corpus is the amount that, earning the post-retirement return, can pay that yearly expense — rising with inflation each year, withdrawn at the start of each year — until your life expectancy.

Why use a lower return after retirement?

Most retirees shift to safer debt-heavy portfolios, so 7–8% is a common assumption after retirement versus 10–12% while you are still investing in equity.

Does this count EPF, NPS or PPF?

Enter their current value under existing savings. Future contributions to them reduce the SIP you need.

How much corpus is required for retirement in India?

It depends on your expenses, inflation and years in retirement. As a rough guide, many planners suggest 25–30 times your annual expenses at retirement.

What is the retirement corpus formula?

Future annual expense = today's expense × (1 + inflation)^years to retirement; the corpus is the present value of those rising expenses over your retirement years at the post-retirement return.

Can I use this for early retirement?

Yes. Set a lower retirement age and a longer life expectancy to see the larger corpus FIRE needs.
