Retirement Corpus Calculator

Estimate the corpus you need to retire, from your monthly expenses.

Last updated: 20 Aug 2026

Quick answer

A common rule is a retirement corpus of about 25× your annual expenses (the 4% rule): corpus = monthly expenses × 12 × 25. For example, ₹50,000 a month needs about ₹1.5 crore. Enter your monthly expenses above.

Estimate the corpus you need to retire using the 25× rule (the 4% safe-withdrawal guideline): corpus = monthly expenses × 12 × 25.

How to estimate your retirement corpus

  1. 1 Enter your expected monthly expenses in retirement.
  2. 2 We annualise and multiply by 25.
  3. 3 You see your target retirement corpus.
