Life Expectancy Savings

Required Savings = Annual Needs × Expected Retirement Years

Indian life expectancy: ~72 years (average). Urban educated: 78-82 years.

Plan for 90 years to be safe — outliving your savings is the biggest retirement risk.

Healthcare costs increase exponentially after 70 — factor in ₹50L+ for medical emergencies.

Women typically live 3-5 years longer — plan pension/corpus accordingly.

Consider long-term care insurance for ages 75+ — nursing care costs ₹30-60K/month.
