Understanding Retirement Income Planning


The Retirement Income Calculator helps you plan the distribution phase of retirement - how to convert your accumulated savings into a sustainable income stream that lasts throughout your retirement years.

A critical concept is the sustainable withdrawal rate. The famous 4% rule suggests withdrawing 4% of your portfolio in the first year, then adjusting for inflation annually. However, this rule has limitations and may need adjustment based on market conditions and personal factors.

Your retirement income comes from multiple sources: systematic withdrawals from investments, pension, social security, rental income, and possibly part-time work. Our calculator helps you coordinate these sources for optimal income.

Sequence of returns risk is a major concern in retirement. Poor market returns early in retirement can devastate your portfolio even if average returns are good. Consider maintaining 2-3 years of expenses in stable assets to avoid selling during downturns.

The calculator shows how long your corpus will last at different withdrawal rates. This helps you balance between living comfortably today and ensuring money lasts. A slightly lower lifestyle might add years of financial security.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a safe withdrawal rate?
The traditional 4% rule suggests withdrawing 4% of your portfolio annually, adjusted for inflation. However, consider 3-3.5% for greater safety or 4.5-5% if you have other income sources.
How do I handle inflation in retirement?
Increase your withdrawal amount by inflation rate each year. If inflation is 6%, your ₹50,000 monthly withdrawal becomes ₹53,000 next year.
What if I'm withdrawing too much?
Reduce expenses, consider part-time income, or adjust lifestyle. Early recognition and action can prevent running out of money later.
Should I include pension in calculations?
Yes, include all income sources. Pension provides a base, reducing how much you need to withdraw from savings, extending their duration.
What about healthcare costs in retirement?
Healthcare costs rise faster than general inflation and increase with age. Budget extra for health expenses and consider appropriate insurance.
