How this estimate works

It takes your current monthly expenses, grows them by inflation until your retirement age, then targets a corpus of roughly 25 times your annual expenses at that point — a common rule of thumb. Finally, it works out the monthly SIP needed to reach that corpus at your assumed return rate.

Why inflation is the villain

The ₹40,000 a month you spend today might cost over ₹2 lakh a month in 30 years. Ignoring inflation is the single biggest mistake in retirement planning, which is why this tool bakes it in.
