Quick answer: how much do I need to retire?

The corpus you need depends on your spending, inflation and how long you will live. For ₹60,000 a month today, retiring at 60 and planning to 85, you need about ₹9,21,80,944.08 at retirement.

Overview of the Retirement Calculator

The Retirement Calculator projects your savings to retirement and compares them with the corpus needed to fund your spending until the age you plan to — adjusting spending for inflation and allowing for returns after retirement. It shows the shortfall or surplus and the extra monthly saving needed to close any gap.

Small changes in return, inflation and retirement age move the answer a lot, so try several. Include other income such as the pension or Social Security. See also the Inflation Calculator and Investment Calculator.

How We Calculate

The calculator applies the standard financial formulas step by step.

  1. Project current savings and monthly saving to retirement at the pre-retirement return.
  2. Inflate today's monthly spending to retirement day: spending × (1 + inflation)^years.
  3. Corpus needed = present value of inflation-adjusted withdrawals over the years in retirement, using the real return after retirement.
  4. Gap = corpus needed − projected savings; extra monthly saving = gap ÷ future-value factor of one rupee saved monthly.
corpus = spending₀ × (1 − (1 + i)^−n) ÷ i × (1 + i), i = real monthly return after retirement

Retirement Calculator — Frequently Asked Questions

How much do I need to retire?

Enough to fund your inflation-adjusted spending for the rest of your life. This calculator computes the corpus from your spending, inflation, returns and life expectancy.

What is the 4% rule?

A guideline that you can withdraw about 4% of your portfolio in the first year and adjust for inflation. Use a lower rate if you expect a long retirement.

How does inflation affect retirement?

It raises the cost of living every year, so spending at retirement is much higher than today's figure.

What return should I assume after retirement?

Usually lower than before, as portfolios become more conservative. Use a cautious figure.

What if I have a shortfall?

Save more each month, retire later, reduce planned spending or aim for a higher (but riskier) return.

Does this include a pension or Social Security?

No. Subtract those incomes from your planned spending before entering it.

How is the retirement calculator calculated?

It uses the standard formula: corpus = spending₀ × (1 − (1 + i)^−n) ÷ i × (1 + i), i = real monthly return after retirement The full method and a worked example are shown on this page.
