💡 Retirement Planning Tips

🎯

Capture Employer Match

A 50% match on 6% of salary is an instant 50% return — always contribute enough to capture the full match.

📊

The 4% Rule

A portfolio of ₹1Cr supports ~₹4L/year (₹33,333/month) sustainably for 30 years. Use this to back-calculate your target.

📈

Inflation Erodes Purchasing Power

At 2.5% inflation, ₹5,000/month today requires ~₹9,000/month in 30 years to buy the same goods.

⏰

Social Security Timing

Claiming at 62 reduces benefit by up to 30%. Waiting until 70 increases it by 8%/year beyond FRA.

🔥

FIRE Target Formula

Annual Expenses × 25 = FIRE number. Spending ₹40,000/year means you need ₹10,00,000 invested.

💼

Roth vs Traditional

Roth contributions are after-tax but grow tax-free. If you expect higher taxes in retirement, Roth is often better.

Frequently Asked Questions

The 25× rule: multiply your expected annual retirement expenses by 25. Need ₹40,000/year → save ₹10,00,000. Need ₹60,000/year → save ₹15,00,000. Subtract Social Security and pension income from your annual need before applying the rule.

The 4% rule states you can withdraw 4% of your portfolio annually for 30+ years. For longer retirements (like FIRE at 40), many planners recommend a more conservative 3–3.5% withdrawal rate.

FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) uses aggressive savings to retire early. Your FIRE number = Annual Expenses × 25. The calculator's FIRE mode finds this number and your earliest retirement date.

Age 62 gives the earliest benefit but permanently reduces it. Full Retirement Age (66-67) gives 100%. Age 70 gives 8%/year more than FRA. Break-even is typically around age 80-82.
