Monte Carlo Simulation

Stress-tests your retirement plan across 1,000 market return sequences — not just the "average case". Shows the probability your corpus lasts through retirement and the range of outcomes.

🎯

Goal-based SIP Planning

Computes corpus and monthly SIP for every goal: children's higher education, marriage, vacation, car, home, and sports events. Uses goal-specific inflation rates — 10% for education, 6% for general goals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Artha Auto-Plan's features and calculations

What does Artha Auto-Plan calculate?

Artha Auto-Plan calculates your complete financial picture in one run: retirement corpus required, monthly SIP targets for each goal, tax liability under both Old and New tax regimes, insurance coverage gap using Human Life Value, net worth projection over 25 years, education and marriage corpus needs, loan repayment timelines, and emergency fund sizing. The results are delivered as a branded PDF summary and an interactive Excel workbook with scenario modelling.

How does the retirement corpus calculator work?

Enter your current age, target retirement age, life expectancy, and current monthly expenses. Artha inflates your expenses at 6% p.a. to the retirement date, then applies a 4% safe withdrawal rate to calculate the corpus you need on day one of retirement. It projects your existing investments (EPF, PPF, NPS, mutual funds, stocks) forward and calculates the monthly SIP required to close the gap, assuming a 12% equity CAGR. Monte Carlo simulation then stress-tests the plan across 1,000 market scenarios.

Does Artha Auto-Plan compare Old and New tax regime?

Yes. Artha calculates your income tax liability under both regimes side by side. For the Old Regime it applies deductions under Sections 80C (up to ₹1.5 lakh), 80D (health insurance), 80CCD (NPS), HRA, standard deduction, and professional tax. For the New Regime it applies the FY 2024-25 slabs without exemptions. The plan then recommends which regime saves you more based on your actual numbers.

What is a Monte Carlo simulation in retirement planning?

A Monte Carlo simulation runs your retirement plan through 1,000 different market return sequences — some optimistic, some pessimistic — to calculate the probability that your corpus lasts through retirement. Instead of a single "average case" projection, it gives a confidence range: for example, "87% probability your corpus lasts to age 85". Artha Auto-Plan includes this simulation and shows the result in the PDF summary.

Can I model different investment return scenarios?

Yes. The interactive Excel workbook generated by Artha Auto-Plan includes a Scenario sheet with a Base / Optimistic / Pessimistic dropdown. Switching scenarios updates return assumptions for all 14 asset classes (equity MF, debt MF, NPS, EPF, PPF, gold, real estate, stocks, FD, and more) and recalculates all downstream sheets — retirement corpus, SIP targets, net worth, tax — instantly via live formulas.

How is the monthly SIP calculated for each goal?

Artha calculates the future cost of each goal (using goal-specific inflation rates — 10% for education, 6% for general goals), deducts any corpus already set aside, and then uses the PMT (present value of annuity) formula to find the monthly SIP needed at a 12% equity return over the years remaining. Each goal — retirement, children's education, children's marriage, vacation, car, home — gets its own SIP figure.

Does Artha Auto-Plan calculate insurance needs?

Yes. Artha calculates your Human Life Value (HLV) — the present value of your expected future income — and compares it against your existing life insurance cover (term, ULIP, endowment) to show the gap in crores. It also checks your health insurance sum insured against recommended coverage based on your family size and city. Outstanding loans are factored into the life insurance need.

What output files does Artha Auto-Plan generate?

Artha generates two files. The PDF summary is a branded, print-ready report covering your net worth, tax comparison, retirement corpus, goal-wise SIP targets, insurance gap, and Monte Carlo result — typically 6–10 pages. The Excel workbook is interactive: it contains a scenario-switching control panel and over 15 formula-driven sheets covering cashflow projections, tax analysis, retirement modelling, loan amortisation, insurance, goals, and more.

Is Artha Auto-Plan free to use?

Yes, Artha Auto-Plan is completely free. There is no registration, no subscription, and no payment required. Fill the form, generate your plan, and download the PDF and Excel report at no cost. For personalised advice — selecting specific mutual funds, reviewing insurance policies, or ongoing portfolio management — you can connect with a Meta Investment advisor.

Who is Artha Auto-Plan designed for?

Artha Auto-Plan is built for Indian salaried professionals, self-employed individuals, and financial advisors who want a comprehensive, data-driven financial plan. It handles the full complexity of Indian financial planning: EPF, NPS, PPF, Old vs New tax regime, HUF, multiple earners, and Indian inflation rates.
