|---|---|---|---|
| Same amount every month | ₹1,04,453 | ₹74,745 | ₹52,697 |
| Starting amount, raised 10% a year | ₹38,817 | ₹30,434 | ₹23,389 |
Reading this honestly
A 12% yearly return is a common long-run assumption for a diversified equity fund, but it is not guaranteed, and real returns arrive unevenly. The 8% column is closer to what a balanced or debt-heavy portfolio might earn. If you can afford the 10% column, you have built in a margin of safety.
Inflation matters as much as returns. At 6% a year, ₹10 crore at age 50 has the buying power of about ₹2.33 crore today. To have ₹10 crore in today's money, you would need about ₹42.92 crore by then.
