Dreaming of early retirement with ₹1 lakh/month? It’s not just a dream, it's an achievable goal with smart planning. Let's break down how to calculate your SIP.
₹1 Lakh/month at 55 needs a reality check. With 6% inflation, ₹1 Lakh today could require ₹3.2 Lakh/month in 20 years for the same lifestyle. Don't ignore it!
For an inflation-adjusted ₹1 Lakh/month at 55 (using a 4% withdrawal rate), you'll need ~₹9.6 Crore. If you're 35, that means investing ~₹85,000/month via SIP for 20 years at 12% return.
30s: Go for growth (Flexi-cap, Nifty funds). 40s: Balance growth & stability (Hybrid funds). 50s: De-risk your portfolio (Large-cap, Debt funds) to protect your corpus.
Don't just set it and forget it! A 'Step-Up SIP' (increasing contributions by 5-10% annually) significantly boosts your corpus, combating inflation and leveraging your rising income.
Underestimating inflation, starting late, not stepping up SIPs, being too conservative, and panic selling during downturns are common pitfalls. Review your plan yearly!
