How Much Money Do You Need to Retire?
Retirement planning starts with future monthly expenses, not today's rent. Inflation can triple your need over 30 years. A common target is 25× your annual expenses at retirement — then work backwards to a monthly SIP.
Steps to estimate
1. Estimate monthly expenses at retirement (today's expenses × inflation).
2. Multiply annual expenses by 25–30 for a corpus target.
3. Subtract existing savings grown to retirement.
4. Use the retirement calculator for required monthly savings.
