What is a Retirement Corpus Calculator?

Retirement corpus planning is the process of calculating how much money you need to accumulate before retirement to sustain your lifestyle for the rest of your life, without needing to work. In India, traditional retirement is at 60, giving you typically 25-30 years of post-retirement life to fund.

Unlike FIRE (which targets early retirement), this calculator is designed for the majority of Indians planning to retire at 55-60 after a full career. It accounts for pension income, EPF/PPF maturity, and spouse's income to give you a net corpus requirement.

How is it calculated?

Corpus needed = PV of all future retirement expenses minus pension/other income

Step 1: Project monthly expenses at retirement age using inflation
Retirement expense = Current expense Γ— (1 + inflation)^years to retirement

Step 2: Subtract any pension income (EPF pension, NPS annuity)
Net expense = Retirement expense βˆ’ Pension income at retirement age

Step 3: Calculate corpus needed to fund net expenses for remaining life
Corpus = Net annual expense Γ— [(1 βˆ’ (1+r)^βˆ’n) Γ· r]

Where r = real return, n = retirement years (life expectancy βˆ’ retirement age)

How to use this calculator

Frequently asked questions

How much corpus do I need to retire in India at 60?β–Ύ
A rough estimate: 25x your expected annual expenses at retirement age (adjusted for inflation). If you expect β‚Ή60,000/month (β‚Ή7.2L/year) at retirement, you need approximately β‚Ή1.8 crore at 60. With inflation adjustment and realistic returns, our calculator gives the precise number.
Should I include my house value in retirement corpus?β–Ύ
Only if you plan to sell it. If you live in your house, exclude it. If you plan to downsize and rent, include the net proceeds. Rental income from a second property should be included as regular income in the retirement planning.
How do I ensure my corpus lasts 30 years?β–Ύ
Keep 50-60% in equity even during retirement. This inflation-beating allocation is crucial for a 30-year retirement horizon. Withdraw systematically (SWP) from debt/FD and replenish from equity during market highs. Our SWP Depletion calculator shows year-by-year corpus health.
