Read MoreA step-by-step guide to planning your retirement — from calculating corpus needs to choosing the right pension and investment mix.
Calculate Your Retirement Corpus
Estimate your monthly expenses in retirement and multiply by 25–30 years of expected post-retirement life. Factor in inflation at 5–6% annually for realistic projections.
Use the 4% withdrawal rule as a starting point: your corpus should be roughly 25 times your annual retirement expenses.
Choose the Right Investment Mix
Younger investors can afford higher equity allocation for growth. As you approach retirement, gradually shift toward debt and annuity products for stable income.
NPS, PPF, and equity mutual funds each play distinct roles in a well-structured retirement portfolio.
- Start early to harness compounding
- Increase contributions with every salary hike
- Review asset allocation every 5 years
Key Takeaways
- Calculate corpus needs with inflation in mind
- Start investing for retirement as early as possible
- Gradually reduce equity exposure as retirement nears
- Combine NPS, PPF, and mutual funds for diversification
