Evaluate early retirement feasibility with longer withdrawal horizons
Corpus Needed for Early Retirement
Projected Corpus at Retirement
Shortfall/Surplus
Early retirement before age 60 is increasingly popular in India, especially among high-income professionals and entrepreneurs, but it demands substantially more planning rigor than traditional retirement at 60-65. The key challenge is sequence-of-returns risk: a 40-year-old retiring at 45 faces 45+ years of withdrawals (vs 30 years for age-60 retirement), requiring a significantly larger corpus and much more conservative withdrawal rates (3-3.5% instead of 4%). Moreover, early retirees cannot access EPF balance (locked until 58-60) or EPS pension (not available before 58), losing critical income anchors. However, early retirement is achievable with: (1) high current corpus (₹2-5 crore minimum), (2) disciplined withdrawal rate (3-3.5%), (3) part-time income/business (₹2-5L/year provides crucial buffer), (4) thorough healthcare planning (critical pre-Medicare coverage), and (5) flexibility to adjust spending if markets crash. This calculator shows the feasibility gap: what corpus you need vs what you'll accumulate, helping you decide between retiring now, working a few more years, or pursuing semi-retirement.
