Frequently asked questions
How is this calculated?
1) Inflate monthly income need to future value. 2) Use present value of annuity to get nest egg needed. 3) Use future value of annuity to compute monthly savings needed to reach that nest egg, factoring current savings growth.
What return rate should I assume?
Long-term stock returns: 8-10% globally. Balanced portfolios: 6-8%. Bonds/savings: 3-5%. Adjust based on your investment mix and country. For Pakistan, mutual funds have averaged 12-15% but with more volatility.
Is inflation really that important?
Yes. At 5% inflation, prices double every 14 years. A Rs 100,000 monthly need today becomes Rs 400,000 in 30 years. Ignoring inflation makes retirement plans dangerously optimistic.
Should I consult a financial advisor?
