From Rs 20,000 Monthly SIP to Rs 14 Crore Corpus: What is a retirement corpus, and how do you decide its size? What should be your retirement corpus? The retirement age is not a fixed number. It’s the age when you don’t have to depend on your monthly income. It’s a stage when your passive income from your retirement corpus can help you bear your monthly expenses. This age can differ from person to person.
Liabilities and other expenses at retirement and inflation-adjusted post-retirement expenses are key components to decide the retirement corpus.
Selection of investment schemes and monthly investment to achieve that target are other two factors to achieve the retirement corpus goal.
