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 |
