Account for inflation impact when calculating retirement corpus target
Inflation-Adjusted Corpus Needed
Annual Expense at Retirement
Inflation Multiplier
Inflation is retirement planning's silent assassin: the purchasing power erosion that many retirees underestimate until too late. This calculator highlights the brutal math of inflation: your ₹1 lakh current annual expense becomes ₹2.65 lakh at just 5% inflation over 20 years. If you retire at 45 with ₹1.5 crore corpus (adequate for ₹75,000/month today), by age 65 that same lifestyle costs ₹120,000+/month—and by age 75, ₹190,000/month. Indian inflation averages 5-6% (with healthcare and education inflation at 8-10%), making inflation-adjusted corpus planning absolutely critical. This calculator works backwards from your current lifestyle expenses, inflates them to your retirement year, then calculates the exact corpus needed to sustain that inflated lifestyle over 30-40 retirement years. It answers the essential question: 'How much corpus do I really need, accounting for rupee devaluation over two decades?'
