About this calculator
In Pakistan, Voluntary Pension Schemes (VPS) also give a tax credit on contributions — a good place to start if you have no employer pension.
Formula
Future value = Savings × (1 + r)ⁿ + Monthly × ((1 + r)ⁿ − 1) ÷ r
Today's value = Future value ÷ (1 + inflation)^years
r is the monthly return and n the number of months until retirement. The 4% rule estimates a sustainable yearly withdrawal from the pot.
Examples
Age 30, Rs 25,000/month, 12% return
At 60 you could have Rs 105,348,924 (Rs 10,469,295 in today's money)
Age 40, Rs 50,000/month, 10% return
At 60 you could have Rs 52,624,589 (Rs 11,290,511 in today's money)
Important information
- Inflation matters enormously over decades: at 8% a year, prices roughly double every 9 years.
- Increasing your monthly saving each year with your salary makes a big difference — try a higher monthly amount to see the effect.
Frequently asked questions
How much do I need to retire?
A common rule of thumb is 25 times your expected yearly spending (the inverse of the 4% rule).
What return should I assume?
Use a realistic long-term figure for your mix of investments. Bank deposits earn less than equity funds but are steadier.
What is the 4% rule?
Withdrawing about 4% of your pot in the first year, then adjusting for inflation, has historically lasted around 30 years.
Does this include EOBI or a company pension?
No. Add those separately to the monthly income estimate.
