What is a retirement corpus?

A retirement corpus is the total accumulated nest egg needed at retirement to fund your living expenses throughout your post-retirement life without running out of money.

How does inflation affect my retirement corpus?

Inflation continuously increases the cost of living. A monthly expense of $3,500 today will grow significantly over 20-30 years before retirement, requiring a larger nest egg.

What is the real rate of return?

The real rate of return is the annual portfolio return adjusted for inflation: Real Rate = ((1 + Return) / (1 + Inflation)) - 1.

Does the calculator show required monthly SIP savings?

Yes, it calculates the exact monthly investment required between now and your retirement age to build the target corpus.

What assumptions should I use for post-retirement returns?

Most retirees assume conservative returns (6% to 8%) post-retirement since portfolio allocations shift towards safer fixed-income instruments.

Is my personal financial information stored anywhere?

No, all calculations run locally in your web browser with 100% data privacy.

Is this Retirement Calculator free?

Yes, it is completely free with no restrictions or registration requirements.
