Are you saving enough for your retirement?

Retirement expenses can be relatively lower than your pre-retirement expenses, but they are still a large amount. Inflation, rising healthcare needs, financial emergencies and expenses like home repairs, travel, essentials and more can pose concerns in retirement.

Therefore, it is important to save enough. You can use a retirement calculator when planning for your retirement to understand how much money you would need. Accordingly, you can build a nest egg that can last you a lifetime.

Why should I have a retirement plan?

3 Quick steps for Retirement Planning

Before you use a retirement calculating tool, you need to first assess some factors at your end. To simplify the process, follow this quick 3-step approach:

Note down your present monthly or yearly expenses. Add everything you spend your money towards – groceries, bills, utilities, loan repayments, and so on. Keep this amount aside. Note down how much you save. Now, envision how much you will spend on these expenses once you have retired.

Once you have an approximate amount, multiply it with the inflation rate during your retirement age. Let’s say, the inflation rate will be 6%. So, the additional post-retirement expenses in the next year would be = annual expenses x inflation rate (6%). Let’s put this in numbers to explain this a bit better.

Let’s say you retire at 60. The average life expectancy rate at birth in urban India is 72.6 #. Now, let’s say your annual expenses at age 60 are ₹ 4 lakh per year. With inflation, they will keep increasing each year. So, from the age of 60 till age 72, assuming a 6% rate of inflation, your annual expenses will look like:

Age 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72
Annual expenses 4,00,000 4,24,000 4,49,440 4,76,460 5,01,991 5,35,290 5,67,408 6,01,452 6,37,439 6,75,792 7,16,339 7,59,319 8,04,879
Assumed Inflation at 6% 24000 25,400 26,966 28,584 30,299 32,117 34,044 36,087 38,252 40,547 42,980 45,559 48,293
Total money accounting for inflation needed next year 4,24,000 4,49,440 4,76,460 5,01,991 5,35,290 5,67,408 6,01,452 6,37,439 6,75,792 7,16,339 7,59,319 8,04,879 8,53,171
