Retirement Planning

🌴Retire Rich, Retire Free

Plan a retirement corpus that outlives inflation.

Whether you retire at 60 or dream of FIRE at 45, the maths is simple: start early, invest monthly, and let compounding do the heavy lifting. We help you calculate the real corpus you need — adjusted for inflation, healthcare and lifestyle — and build a SIP roadmap to get there.

Year 5 → 15
Step-up SIPs by 10% annually, add international equity & hybrid funds.

Year 15 → 25
Gradual shift to debt and balanced advantage funds; lock in gains.

Retirement
SWP (Systematic Withdrawal Plan) for monthly income; keep 30–40% in equity.
Strategy

How we'll approach it

Equity-heavy start

In your 30s–40s, 70–80% equity via diversified & flexi-cap funds compounds fastest.

Tax-smart layers

Combine ELSS, NPS (extra ₹50k 80CCD(1B)), EPF/VPF and PPF for tax-free & tax-deferred growth.

Glide-path to safety

Systematically reduce equity 5 years before retirement; move to debt & balanced advantage funds.

Income after retirement

SWP from a debt-oriented portfolio gives predictable monthly cash — more tax-efficient than FD interest.

Frequently asked

How much do I really need to retire in India?

Rule of thumb: 25–30× your current annual expenses, adjusted for 6% inflation. A ₹50k/month lifestyle today needs a corpus of ₹5–7 Cr in 25 years.

Is NPS or Mutual Funds better?

Both. NPS gives an extra ₹50,000 tax deduction under 80CCD(1B) and low costs, but has withdrawal restrictions. Mutual funds are flexible. We usually blend both.

Can I retire early (FIRE) in India?

Yes — but you need to invest 40–60% of income for 12–20 years into equity SIPs and build ~30× annual expenses. We map a realistic FIRE plan for you.
