What Magnus does
Magnus shows you how long your retirement savings will last, based on your corpus, monthly expenses, expected returns, and inflation. Enter your numbers, click Calculate, and get a clear picture of whether your plan is on track.
Step 1 — Sign in
Use the email and password provided to you by the administrator. If you have forgotten your password, click "Forgot password?" on the login screen.
Step 2 — Enter your situation
If you are still building your corpus (pre-retiree):
- Click Pre-Retirement: Build Your Corpus at the top of the left panel to expand it.
- Enter your current age and current invested corpus.
- Enter your monthly contribution and annual step-up percentage.
- Choose your return method — either enter a return rate manually, or use the allocation selector to estimate it from your fund mix.
- Enter your retirement age.
- Click Apply to Retirement Planner — your projected corpus at retirement fills in automatically below.
If you are already retired (or close to it):
Skip the Pre-Retirement panel entirely and enter your funds directly in the planner below.
Step 3 — Enter your funds
In the Your Funds section, add each of your investments:
- Amount (₹) — how much money is in that investment
- Return % — the expected annual return
- Asset Class — the type of investment (Equity, FD, Hybrid, Debt, Gold, Cash)
Add up to 5 funds. Click + Add Fund to add more.
Step 4 — Fill in the planning details
- Age at Retirement — when you start withdrawing
- Monthly Living Expense (₹) — your total monthly spending in today's money
- Other Monthly Income (₹) — pension, rent, or any regular income that reduces your monthly draw from the corpus (leave at zero if none)
- Target Age — how long you want your money to last (up to age 100)
- Inflation — set a rate for each 5-year period (5–6% is a reasonable starting point for India)
Step 5 — Calculate
Click ▶ Calculate Projection.
Results appear on the right side of the screen. You will see:
- Executive Summary — a plain-language verdict on your plan and suggested actions
- Health Indicator — a colour-coded signal (Strong / Moderate / Vulnerable / High Risk)
- Key numbers — how long your corpus lasts, corpus balance at target age, withdrawal rate
- Stress tests — how your plan holds up under worse conditions
- Year-by-year table — a detailed breakdown for every year of retirement
Step 6 — Adjust and recalculate
Change any input and click Calculate again. Magnus saves your inputs automatically — they will be there the next time you log in.
Advanced options
The Advanced Planning Mode panel at the bottom of the left sidebar offers:
- Bucket Withdrawal — draws from safer assets first, letting equity grow longer
- Annual Rebalancing — resets fund proportions each year
- Monte Carlo Simulation — runs hundreds of randomised market scenarios to give a probability of success
Use these only if you want deeper analysis. The standard calculation is sufficient for most planning purposes.
