Anushka Rathod Instagram – Here’s how the 4% formula works to set a reasonable spending limit:
The “4% of net worth” rule is based on the idea that you can safely withdraw 4% of your investments annually without running out of money.
So this gives a realistic idea of how much your savings can support each year and helps balance your current spending with your long-term goals.
For example, if your net worth is ₹1 crore and your annual income is ₹25 lakh, your spending limit should be ₹14.5 lakh.
Even though ₹1 crore sounds like a lot, you’d need around ₹3.7 crore invested to fully support this spending if you lost your income.
So, ₹1 crore is still far from financial independence.
On the other hand, if your income is ₹25 lakh and your net worth is ₹5 crore, you can afford to spend most of your income since you’re closer to financial independence.
This formula keeps spending tied to your net worth, not just income, and helps avoid lifestyle inflation. It ensures you enjoy life now while staying on track for long-term financial security.
