How much corpus do I need to retire in India?
Use a safe withdrawal rate on your inflation-adjusted annual expenses to estimate the corpus needed.
How does inflation affect retirement expenses?
Inflation compounds your monthly expenses over time, which is why the future expense can be much higher than today.
What inflation rate should I use?
A 6% assumption is a practical baseline for long-term planning, but you can test 5%, 6%, or 8% scenarios.
How does safe withdrawal rate work?
A safe withdrawal rate is a simple planning assumption that turns yearly spending into an estimated corpus target.
How retirement planning is estimated
Retirement planning starts with current monthly expenses and adjusts them into the future. Inflation-adjusted expenses matter because the same household budget usually costs more by the time retirement arrives. This page uses a default 6% inflation assumption as a practical base case, then compares that future expense with your existing corpus and ongoing investment pace.
Frequently asked questions
How do inflation-adjusted retirement expenses work?
Current monthly expenses are grown over the years to retirement so the plan reflects future purchasing power rather than today's rupee value.
Why does the calculator use 6% inflation by default?
A 6% baseline is a practical long-range planning assumption for many Indian household scenarios, and it should be stress-tested against lower and higher cases.
What is the required retirement corpus?
The corpus is the estimated pool of assets needed to support future annual expenses after adjusting for inflation, withdrawals, and expected returns.
What is the monthly investment gap?
It is the difference between the portfolio you are projected to build and the portfolio you need, translated into a monthly contribution target.
