Smart retirement planning
Your retirement plan should reflect how your expenses actually change.
School fees, EMIs and commuting may disappear. Healthcare, travel or domestic help may rise. RetireWise models those changes instead of blindly inflating today's total spending.

Compare retirement ages
Same assumptions, different retirement date.
Corpus figures are shown in future rupees at each retirement age. A later retirement can therefore show a higher nominal corpus because of inflation, while still requiring a lower monthly investment because you have more years to save.

Important notes
This report is an illustrative planning output based entirely on the assumptions entered by the user. It does not predict investment returns, inflation, taxes, healthcare costs, longevity or market conditions. It is not investment, tax, legal or insurance advice.
The model estimates the amount needed at retirement by discounting projected month-by-month retirement cash flows using the entered post-retirement return, then applies the selected safety buffer. Actual outcomes can differ materially.
How it works
Built around cash flows, not a single expense number
Model changing expenses
Each detailed expense is inflated independently and can continue, change at retirement, end at a chosen age or start only after retirement.
Subtract retirement income
Pension, rent and annuity income reduce the monthly withdrawal required from the retirement portfolio.
Insert future goals
One-time goals that occur during retirement are inflation-adjusted to their chosen age and added to the retirement cash-flow schedule.
Discount every future cash flow
The engine calculates the amount required at retirement to finance the month-by-month net cash flows while the remaining portfolio earns your assumed post-retirement return.
Compare with your savings plan
Existing savings and monthly contributions are projected to retirement to estimate the gap and the additional contribution required.

FAQ
Important questions
Why not simply inflate today's household spending?
Because many expenses change structurally. Education and loan payments may end, work-related transport can fall, while healthcare or travel can rise. Detailed mode lets you model those changes explicitly.
What does “today's rupees” mean?
For expense categories and one-time goals, enter what the item costs today. RetireWise applies the selected inflation assumption from your current age to the age when the cash flow occurs.
How should I enter a pension?
Enter the monthly amount you expect when that income begins and the age it begins. You can also give it an annual increase rate. The calculator does not estimate pension entitlement for you.
What happens if a home loan continues after retirement?
Set the expense rule to “Ends at age” and enter the actual expected payoff age. The model will include the payment during the early retirement years until that age.
Does this guarantee that the money will last?
No. The model uses constant assumptions. Actual market returns, inflation, taxes, healthcare needs and longevity can differ materially. A future version can add variable-return or Monte Carlo analysis.
