Recently, we received this query by E-mail.

I am 22 and earn Rs 18,000 per month. At what rate should I invest and how
should I proceed further to earn income that could replace or be equal to my
present salary.
Rajesh (Name changed)
We found this interesting on a number of levels. For starters, at 22, Rajesh is starting
to secure his financial future early in his career. Second, he understands the
importance of having a defined corpus that generates income to replace his own
thats making money work for you.
In this article, we will discuss how you can go about building a corpus that will
generate an income to replace your current salary.
How to create a corpus that replaces your income
In order to generate Rs 18,000 per month, lets start with the following assumptions
You invest 30% of your salary. In this case Rs 5,400.
You invest in equity mutual funds with an expected return of 14% annualised over the
long term
You re-invest the accumulated corpus in a bank FD with an expected return of 8%
per annum
Taxes are not taken into consideration

Rajesh will need 14 years to accumulate the required corpus of Rs 28.18 lakhs
which when invested in a Bank FD will give you Rs 18,790 per month.

time he is 36.
However, there is a problem with this approach. We have failed to take inflation into
account. What inflation does is reduce the value of money over time. With a given
sum of money, you will be able to buy significantly less 14 years from now. To put it in
numbers, Rajeshs current Salary of Rs 18,000 will be worth only Rs 6,128 in 14 years.
How to create a corpus that replaces your income adjusted for inflation
To get a corpus that is capable of generating this inflation adjusted (higher) income,
Rajeshwill need to save for longer. Lets see what it will take to do this. We will go
with the same assumptions as before but also consider inflation.
You invest at least 30% of your salary- (INR 5,400 in this case)
Investments happen in equity mutual funds with an expected return of 14%
annualised over the long term
You re-invest the accumulate corpus in a bank FD with an expected return of 8% per
annum
Tax implications are not taken into account
Inflation rate is 8% per annum

Rajesh will need 28 years to accumulate the required corpus of INR 2.16 crores,
which, when reinvested, will give him Rs 1,44,209 per month an amount that is
equivalent to his current salary of Rs 18,000 adjusted for inflation over 28 years.
Is there a faster way to achieve this?
Yes. And that involves increasing your saving every year by, say, 10%. This is in-line
with the increase in your income.
If you do this, you will only need 18 years to accumulate the required corpus of INR
1.03 Crores which could then generate a monthly income of Rs 69,108 an amount
equal to your current salary adjusted for inflation over 18 years.

Thats good advice for Rajesh, but what can I do?

We know every ones different so we created a comprehensive calculator. Find out
how you can get your savings to replace your income using our downloadable excel
worksheet.
Key Take Away
Start investing as early as possible
Invest in high-return long term asset classes like equity mutual funds to achieve your
goals faster
Always factor inflation into your calculations
Use our downloadable excel worksheet to find out how your money will grow
Its ideal to increase your saving/ SIP amount every year by at least 10% or more- inline with your increase in income
Take into account the tax implication of your investments. Not all investments are taxfree during maturity (Weve written many articles on this topic)
