Frequently Asked Questions
Pick your region at the top. The calculator switches to local currency automatically. Defaults adjust too—UK uses £30,000 annual expenses, Canada uses $45,000 CAD, India uses ₹600,000. Enter your own numbers if these don't fit.
Yes, but carefully. UK State Pension (£11,500/year) reduces your needed nest egg by about £287,500. Canada's CPP/OAS (~$1,400/month) has similar impact. India has no meaningful state pension—your savings must cover everything.
UK: 5-7% nominal, 2-4% real. Canada: 6-8% nominal, 3.5-5.5% real. India: 8-12% nominal, but only 4-6% real due to higher inflation. Always think in real returns—what you earn after inflation.
Higher inflation means you need more saved. India's 6% inflation vs UK's 3% means Indian investors need roughly double the nominal return for the same real growth. Our calculator bakes regional inflation into the math.
Yes. Pick the region closest to your economy. USD/Euro countries: use main calculator or UK settings. High-inflation countries: India settings work better. We're adding Australia, Germany, and Netherlands soon.
