Section 2 of 3

How large a retirement corpus do you actually need?

Rather than applying one inflation rate to everything, the planner inflates living costs, healthcare and one-time goals separately, then discounts the retirement years back to your retirement date.

Estimated corpus at retirement

₹10.82 Cr

Needed at age 60, funding roughly 28 retired years.

In today's purchasing power

₹2.38 Cr

Deflated at 6.0% pre-retirement inflation over 26 years.

Projected value of current plan

₹6.53 Cr

Existing assets plus ₹18,000 a month, compounded at 11.0%.

Corpus gap

₹4.28 Cr

Closing it needs about ₹23,962 more each month.

Assumptions

Every one of these is visible and editable. Change one and watch the estimate move — that sensitivity is the point.

How the corpus is computed

Persistent monthly spending of ₹57,000 is inflated to age 60, giving a first retired year cost of about ₹37.89 L. That stream, plus healthcare on its own inflation path, is discounted over 28 years at 7.0%. One-time goals and a 5% contingency are added; existing assets and running contributions are subtracted.

Projected annual living cost from today to retirement

Units: ₹ per year, nominal

Annual living cost rises from ₹6,84,000 today to ₹31,11,778 at age 60.

Assumption note: 6.0% general inflation applied to persistent spending only.

Cost streams by year: living, healthcare and education

Units: ₹ per year, nominal

Stacked annual costs showing living expenses, healthcare and any child-education years included in the plan.

Assumption note: education appears only if you switched it on in your profile, spread over four years from each child's eighteenth year.

What the corpus is made of

Units: ₹ at retirement date

Corpus composition: Living costs ₹7.15 Cr, Healthcare ₹2.51 Cr, One-time goals ₹68.24 L, Contingency reserve ₹48.26 L, Education (pre-retirement) ₹50.30 L.

Corpus composition
ComponentAmount
Living costs₹7,14,63,273
Healthcare₹2,50,63,825
One-time goals₹68,24,074
Contingency reserve₹48,26,355
Education (pre-retirement)₹50,30,491

Assumption note: education is a pre-retirement cost and is shown separately — it is funded before retirement, not from the corpus.

Sensitivity: corpus under different assumptions

Units: ₹ required at retirement

Optimistic case ₹6,81,88,898, Base case ₹10,81,77,527, Conservative case ₹23,18,58,648

Conservative adds 1.5pp to inflation, subtracts return, and extends longevity by five years. Optimistic does the reverse. Treat the range, not the midpoint, as the answer.

Read this as a range

Between the optimistic and conservative cases the requirement moves by ₹16.37 Cr. Plan towards the base case, review annually, and let the conservative case guide how early you start.

Next step

Section 3 converts the ₹4.28 Cr gap into a monthly contribution and checks it against the surplus you actually have.
