Pension calculator: Sakshi Tyagi is a 35 year old IT professional. She is drawing around ₹75,000 monthly take home salary and paying around ₹25,000 monthly home loan as well. So, she has ₹50,000 in hand salary to spend on her monthly expenses and savings for her future. Sakshi is able to save around ₹20,000 per month from this ₹50,000 and she is planning to use this ₹20,000 for her retirement corpus that can create around ₹1 lakh monthly income when she turns 60.
On investment tool that can help Sakshi achieve her post-retirement goal; Vinit Khandare, CEO & Founder at MyFundBazaar India Private Limited said, "One needs to keep inflation post-retirement in mind as well. To achieve this ambitious target of ₹1 lakh monthly income post-retirement, one can look at creating a corpus of around ₹13 crore that can be invested in SWP (Systematic Withdrawal Plan) for next 25 years. "
Vinit Khandare of MyFundBazaar India advised investors like Sakshi to go for equity mutual funds SIP (Systematic Investment Plan) as it yields around 12 to 14 per cent in long-term. He said that equity mutual funds investment easily beats inflation in long-term investment. He also advised 15 per cent annual step-up in SIP as it helps an investor to bring down its monthly SIP to the lowest possible levels.
