Investment Inputs

Adjust your inputs below to update your metrics

i

Pre-Retirement Return Rate (XIRR): This is the average annual return you expect on your investments until retirement.

  • Realistic long-term range for equity portfolios: 8–12%.
  • 10% is a balanced default.

Higher assumed return means you may need to contribute less each month to reach your goal.

Note: Actual returns will vary with market conditions.

i

Expected Inflation Rate: This is the average annual rise in the cost of living you expect during your remaining working years until retirement.

  • In India, long-term average inflation has been around 5–7%.
  • Use 6% as a reasonable default for planning.

This rate helps us adjust your desired pension to maintain the same purchasing power in future rupees as it has today.

Higher inflation = you will likely need a larger corpus at retirement.

i

Expected Annuity Rate at Retirement: This is the estimated annual payout rate (% of corpus) from a lifetime annuity when you retire.

Current Year: For a 60-year-old, basic lifetime annuity rates range between 6.5% – 8% p.a. depending on the annuity option chosen.

Historical Trend: Rates move with long-term interest rates — higher (7–9%) in high-rate periods, lower (5–6.5%) in low-rate periods.

Our Conservative Assumption for your retirement year: 6%. This is based on the lower end of current realistic rates, long-term historical average (6–7.5%), and allowance for possible lower future rates or preference for plans with principal protection.
