FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does inflation matter for retirement?
Inflation steadily decreases the purchasing power of money. If you estimate you need ₹2 Crores to retire comfortably today, that same lifestyle might cost ₹6 Crores in 20 years. This calculator accounts for inflation to ensure you don't outlive your money.
How are my current savings factored in?
If you already have savings (like FDs, mutual funds, or EPF) designated for retirement, the calculator compounds that amount at your expected rate of return until your retirement age. It subtracts this future value from your total goal, calculating the SIP only for the remaining shortfall.
What is a good expected rate of return?
For long-term goals like retirement (10+ years away), investors typically allocate a significant portion to Equity Mutual Funds, which have historically targeted 10% to 12% annualized returns. Debt instruments generally target 6% to 8%.
