Retirement Planning Calculator: How Much Corpus Do You Need?

calendar_today 29 Jun 2026 7 min read

Retirement planning answers: how much money do I need at age 60 and how much to save each month starting today? Rising life expectancy and inflation make this essential for salaried Indians.

Steps to estimate

  1. Estimate monthly expenses after retirement (today's rupees)
  2. Adjust for inflation until retirement age
  3. Multiply by years in retirement (e.g. 25 years)
  4. Subtract expected EPF, NPS, pension
  5. Gap = corpus you must build via SIP/mutual funds

Inflation matters

₹50,000/month lifestyle today may cost ₹1.5 lakh+ in 20 years at 6% inflation. Always include inflation in planning.
