The retirement planning formula estimates the corpus required to sustain your current lifestyle during retirement. It accounts for inflation, which increases living costs, and calculates the necessary nest egg based on a real rate of return.
The 4% rule suggests that if you withdraw 4% of your retirement corpus in the first year and adjust subsequent withdrawals for inflation, your savings should last at least 30 years.
Inflation erodes the purchasing power of money. A corpus that seems large today may buy much less in 20 or 30 years, which is why inflation must always be factored in.
