Financial Freedom Calculator
Financial freedom means different things to different people, but the core concept remains the same: having enough wealth to live life on your own terms. Our Financial Freedom Calculator helps you determine the corpus you need to achieve this goal.
What is Financial Freedom?
Financial freedom is the state where your investments generate enough passive income to cover your living expenses. It's about having the choice to work because you want to, not because you have to. This calculator helps you understand:
- The corpus needed for financial independence
- Required monthly investments to reach your goal
- Impact of inflation on future expenses
- Real returns needed from your investments
How to Use the Financial Freedom Calculator
The calculator takes four key inputs to determine your path to financial freedom:
- Monthly Expenses Enter your current monthly expenses including all living costs, utilities, and lifestyle expenses. This forms the base for calculating your required passive income.
- Expected Return Rate Input the annual return rate you expect from your investments post achieving financial freedom. Conservative estimates range from 8-12% based on your investment mix.
- Expected Inflation Rate Account for rising costs over time. India's long-term inflation average is around 6%, though this can vary based on economic conditions.
- Years to Financial Freedom Set your target timeline for achieving financial freedom. This helps calculate the required monthly investments and future expense projections.
