Life Money Simulator will your money last?

Tell us about your month today, switch on life events like a home, a wedding or a child, and see in plain English whether your money lasts, and what to change if it doesn’t.

🧑 Your money today

I’ll enter my pay as
₹/month
What lands in your bank account each month, after tax and PF.
₹/month
Food, bills, travel, fun and everything else, but not rent or EMIs.
₹/month
Stops automatically when you buy a home. Enter 0 if you own.
₹
Bank balance, FDs, mutual funds, stocks: money you could use. Leave out your home.
years
years
years
How long your money needs to last. 85 is a common choice.
Assumptions that matter a lot

These are typical long-run guesses. Try your own and watch the result change.

The economy
%
How fast your income grows.
%
Inflation: makes future costs bigger.
%
School and college fees usually rise faster than other prices. Used for your child’s higher education.
%
Leave empty to use the price rise above. Used for the price you pay and for your home’s value.
%
Many people move to safer investments after retiring and earn less. Leave empty to use the same return.
%
Average growth of your savings after costs. Not guaranteed.
Your habits
%
Spare money is pay minus the costs you listed. Real life leaks: gifts, medical bills, trips, gadgets. 80% is a cautious guess; 100% means every spare rupee is invested.
%
A real raise is pay growth above inflation (or a career jump). At 25%, a quarter of every raise goes into a better lifestyle for good, and the rest to savings. 0% means your spending only ever rises with inflation.

🎛️ Life events (switch on, then set the age)

Prices are in today’s rupees. We work out what they will cost by the time they happen.

🧭 Your money story

“Today’s money” removes inflation, so ₹1 Cr means what ₹1 Cr buys today.

⚖️ Compare two plans

Save this plan as Plan A, then change anything on the left, such as buying a home later or retiring earlier. We show both plans side by side, and Plan A as a dashed line on the chart.

Plan your whole life in money, not just next month

Big life decisions rarely happen one at a time. A home loan arrives just as a child is born, a career jump pays for the car, and a career break stretches your savings. The Life Money Simulator puts these events on one timeline so you can see their combined effect on your net worth and your savings, and whether the money lasts.

How to use it

  1. Enter what you take home each month, what you spend, and what you have saved.
  2. Switch on the life events that may apply and set the age each one happens.
  3. Read “Your plan in plain English”. If your money runs out, it tells you when, why, and what would fix it.
  4. Flip to Today’s money to judge results in familiar rupees.

What the two lines mean

The blue line is your net worth: savings plus home value minus any loan. The green line is just your savings. A big gap means much of your wealth is locked in a house, which is fine as long as the green line stays above zero when you stop working.

Frequently asked questions

Should I enter monthly take-home or yearly gross pay?

Whichever you know better. Monthly take-home is what reaches your bank account. If you choose yearly gross pay (your CTC without employer PF and gratuity), the simulator works out the tax for you using the new regime.

What is financial freedom age?

The first age at which your savings could cover a year of your spending by withdrawing 3.5% a year, so you could stop working without running out of money.

Why are prices in today’s rupees?

Because that is how you think about money. A ₹10 lakh wedding today will cost more in ten years, so the simulator inflates it to the year it happens.

What happens if my savings run out?

The simulator stops the chart at that age and tells you the shortfall and what would fix it, such as spending less, retiring later or skipping the biggest event.
