Retirement Calculator
Estimate the retirement corpus you may need by connecting today's expenses, inflation, retirement age, expected returns and years in retirement.
Retirement Calculator
Retirement is a cash-flow problem
Your target is not simply a large number. It is the ability to fund expenses for a long period while prices rise and investments earn returns.
What belongs in a retirement plan
SEBI's investor resources include retirement trackers, annual retirement income tools, cost-of-delay tools and financial goal planners — a useful reminder that retirement planning is more than one corpus number.
Variables that can change your retirement number
- Inflation and healthcare costs
- Retirement age
- Life expectancy
- Existing EPF/NPS/PPF and other assets
- Future contributions and their annual increases
- Post-retirement asset allocation and withdrawal rate
Cost of delay
Starting later generally leaves less time for contributions and compounding. SEBI provides a dedicated cost-of-delay calculator for understanding this effect.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does retirement planning need an inflation assumption?
Yes. Ignoring inflation can make a future expense target look artificially small.
Should I use my current expenses as my retirement expenses?
Use today's expenses as a starting point, then consider which costs may disappear, increase or appear after retirement.
