What is a retirement corpus gap?

The gap between your projected corpus (from current savings + SIPs) and the required corpus (to fund expenses until life expectancy). A negative gap means shortfall — you need to save more, retire later, or spend less.

How to calculate retirement savings gap?

Gap = Required Corpus - Projected Corpus. Required corpus = Annual Retirement Expenses × 25-30. Projected corpus = FV of existing investments + FV of future SIPs until retirement.

How can I bridge my retirement corpus gap?

Key levers: (1) Increase monthly SIP, (2) Delay retirement by 2-3 years (powerful compound effect), (3) Reduce post-retirement expenses, (4) Work part-time for a few years (Barista FIRE), (5) Invest in higher-return equity assets earlier.
