SIP Calculator: 25, 30 or 35 years — Plan your investments in SIP based on remaining years of employment
SIP Calculator: Retirement planning along with career building is important for everyone. This is because in old age when you will not have any source of income, this accumulated capital will help you in running your daily activities. Be it for your daily food or your medicines etc., you will not need to ask anyone for financial support.
But do you know - proper planning for retirement not only makes you financially independent but can also make you a millionaire by your retirement age? One of the best ways is investing money through SIP i.e., Systematic Investment Plan. It is a method of investing in mutual funds allowing investors to contribute a fixed sum regularly, like monthly or quarterly, rather than a lump sum.
So, if you haven't considered it yet, start now. Here are the details of how much you need to invest in SIP as per your age and the remaining years of your job to become a millionaire by the age of 60.
How to calculate
For an average person, the retirement age in India is 60. So, to determine the remaining years of employment subtract your current age from 60. For instance, if you're 25 years old, then 60-25 = 35 years, that means you have 35 years left to work. Similarly, if you're 30, then 60-30 = 30 years, which means you have 30 years left, and if you're 35, then 60-35 = 25 years, i.e., you have 25 years remaining. These are the years you have to accumulate your retirement fund. Now you need to know how much SIP to start according to your age.
