How to Calculate Your Retirement Corpus (India 2026)

Step 1 — Estimate today's monthly expense

Track 3 months of spending. Most families underestimate by 20–30%.

Step 2 — Inflate to retirement year

At 6% inflation, ₹50,000/month today becomes ₹2.87 L/month in 30 years.

Step 3 — Apply the 30× rule

Annual expense at retirement × 30 ≈ corpus required (assumes 7% post-retirement return, 3% real withdrawal).

Step 4 — Back-solve your monthly SIP

Use our Retirement Calculator to find the exact SIP for your timeline.
