Early Retirement at 50 — Complete Financial Plan

Retiring at 50 means your money needs to last 30-40 years. Here is how much you need.

Retirement Corpus Calculation

If your monthly expenses are ₹50,000 today and you want to retire at 50 (with inflation at 6%), you will need approximately ₹4-5 crore.

Monthly ExpensesCorpus Needed (at 50)Monthly SIP (from age 30)
₹30,000₹2.5 Cr₹14,200
₹50,000₹4.2 Cr₹23,600
₹75,000₹6.3 Cr₹35,400
₹1,00,000₹8.4 Cr₹47,200

Use the 4% rule: Withdraw 4% of corpus annually. ₹4.2 crore × 4% = ₹16.8 lakh/year = ₹1.4 lakh/month income.
