|---|---|---|---|
| Same amount every month | ₹66,654 | ₹43,873 | ₹28,329 |
| Starting amount, raised 10% a year | ₹20,825 | ₹15,577 | ₹11,320 |
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 55 has the buying power of about ₹1.74 crore today. To have ₹10 crore in today's money, you would need about ₹57.43 crore by then.
