Getting started
What is retirement corpus?
The total amount you need saved to stop working.
Explained in more detail
It depends on your yearly expenses, how long you expect to live, and how much of your capital you plan to spend each year. Inflation matters more here than anywhere else, because the number has to keep working for thirty years after you stop earning.
An example
For instanceAnnual expenses of ₹8 lakh may need a corpus in the region of ₹2 crore or more.
Why this matters to you
You will meet this word in broker apps, company results and market news. Knowing what it means is not the goal on its own. The goal is being able to judge whether a number is good or bad for the investment you are actually holding.
