Planning tools

Seven tools to build intuition about how discipline, time, and quiet compounding work together — including education, retirement (with Jeevan Saathi), wedding planning, and a generational thought experiment. These are illustrations — not advice. Your real plan is always a conversation, not a calculator. Assumed returns use debt-oriented 6%, hybrid 8.5%, and equity-oriented 12% as portfolio-type labels, not promises.

Free checklist: The Dhansanchay Family Wealth Checklist — eleven items to print and keep with your records (no form gate).

SIP & step-up

The Quiet Crore

See how a boring SIP — especially with an annual step-up — quietly compounds. Compare flat vs stepped-up, three portfolio-type scenarios, and watch the discipline dividend on the chart.

Education

The Education Horizon

Education costs often beat CPI — the tool starts at 9% fee inflation and 12% on existing savings, with SIP bands from debt to equity so you can stress-test openly.

Retirement

The Retirement Number

Retirement is not an age. It is a monthly number. Includes Jeevan Saathi planning — a joint-life horizon so the corpus is sized for the spouse who may live longer.

Withdrawals

How Long Will It Last?

Corpus longevity check — if you withdraw at a pace with annual increases, how many years might money last in a deterministic illustration?

Delay

The Cost of Waiting

Waiting three years is not just three missed instalments — it is compounding you do not get back. See the rupee gap and a catch-up SIP hint.

Wedding

The Wedding Compass

Future wedding cost in today's terms, inflation, and SIP illustrations — traditions differ; the maths is a shared starting point for the ledger.

Generations

The Generational Horizon

A thought experiment: the same SIP habit across 25, 50, and 75 years. Continuity in rupees — not a forecast.

Return assumptions of 6%, 8.5%, and 12% correspond to debt-oriented, hybrid, and equity-oriented portfolio types respectively. These are illustrative, not guaranteed. Mutual Fund investments are subject to market risks. Please read all scheme-related documents carefully before investing. For personalised guidance, book a review.
