What is retirement planning?

Retirement planning is the process of managing your finances and investments to ensure a smooth transition from your working years into ‘retirement’ life. It involves setting clear financial goals for your retirement, estimating your post-retirement financial needs, and identifying the amount you need to save to maintain your desired lifestyle even after retiring. You must then plan your investments and allocate your assets as needed to build the required retirement corpus.

If you are not sure about how to begin planning for your post-retired life, you can seek expert assistance from financial retirement planners in India. Alternatively, you can use a retirement calculator to get a clearer picture of how much you need to save for life after retirement.

What is a retirement calculator?

A retirement calculator is a handy financial tool that can help you estimate the amount of money you need to save to lead a comfortable life after you retire. It simplifies retirement planning for people from all walks of life and makes it easier to understand the financial requirements of post-retirement life.

The best part is that online retirement calculators are now available to everybody free of charge. You need to input a few basic details into this financial tool, and you can see how much you will have to start saving to build the nest egg required for your post-retirement life.

How does a retirement planning calculator work?

A retirement planning calculator typically has a user-friendly interface, making it suitable even for beginners and those new to retirement planning. You need to enter some basic details like your current age, the age at which you plan to retire and your life expectancy. You then need to submit information about your current income/expenses, how much you have saved for retirement so far, and the expected inflation rate and ROI.

Ensure that you enter realistic and accurate information in the retirement planning calculator. Once you submit the required details, the financial tool will compute the minimum amount you need to save up as your retirement corpus. You can then use this information to create an investment plan accordingly.
