🧮 Understanding the Tool Results

After clicking Calculate, the tool gives you two key values:

📦 Estimated Retirement Corpus

This is the total amount of money you are expected to have by the time you reach your retirement age, based on your current savings, monthly contributions, and expected annual returns.

• ✅ It shows your future savings, assuming you continue contributing regularly.

• 📈 It includes the effect of compound interest, so even small contributions can grow big over time.

Think of it as your retirement nest egg.

📉 Present Value (Adjusted for Inflation)

This tells you what your retirement corpus will be worth in today’s money after accounting for inflation.

• 🏷️ Inflation reduces purchasing power over time — ₹1 today won’t buy as much 20 years later.

• 💸 This figure helps you understand what your future money is really worth.

It shows how much your savings would feel like in today’s world.

✅ How to Interpret the Results

• If the Present Value looks too low, it means your savings may not be enough to maintain your lifestyle after retirement.

• Consider:

  • Increasing your monthly contributions

  • Starting to save earlier

  • Adjusting your expected return rate if realistic

This helps you make better decisions today for a comfortable and secure retirement tomorrow.
