How it works

Your spend grows with inflation until you retire and keeps growing after. The corpus has to pay that rising amount for every year of retirement while the rest stays invested.

The calculator takes the money out at the start of each year of retirement, and finds the monthly SIP that reaches the corpus by the date you retire.

Formula: Corpus = First year’s spend × (1 − g^n) ÷ (1 − g), where g = (1 + inflation) ÷ (1 + return after retiring) and n is the years in retirement.
