What are the levers under “What would move this”?
Up to three changes — save a little more, live on a little less later, clear the costliest loan — each run through your whole projection and priced in years.
What would move this on the Overview answers the question most people have after seeing their result: what would change it? It lists up to three changes. For each, Nivritee re-runs your whole projection with that one change and finds the earliest age at which your money lasts — the same method that sets your projected independence age — so the answer cannot contradict the chart on the Retirement Tracker.
| Lever | How big it is |
|---|---|
| Save a little more | A tenth of what your plan already leaves over each month, put away every month until you stop working. It comes out of what you spend today. Not shown if nothing is left over. |
| Live on a little less later | A tenth off what your plan says your life costs once you stop earning, in today’s money — a real cut, not an inflation trick. |
| Clear the costliest loan | Paying off the loan with the highest rate implied by your own repayment schedule, out of what you hold — not your home and not your emergency fund. Shown only if you could pay it. |
Reading each one
- The big figure is … years earlier than the age your plan currently projects, which the subtitle names.
- No earlier means the change does not bring independence forward. It is still listed, because knowing a change buys nothing is useful.
- Not readable means there was no baseline to measure against — the plan does not yet reach independence on its own terms.
- Under each: what the change is, what it costs you, and where its size came from — always your own figure, named.
Overview
Each one re-run through your whole projection, against the 54 it currently projects.
- 1 year earlierSave a little moreA tenth of the ₹1,21,200 a month your plan already leaves over.
- 1 year earlierLive on a little less laterA tenth of the ₹15L a year your plan says the life you have now will cost once you stop earning.
- No earlierClear the costliest loanThe ₹35,00,000 outstanding on Home loan, at the 8.3% your own repayment schedule implies.
1Ahead of plan ₹63.86L — Returning 12.7% against the 11.0% your plan assumes, over 4.3 years.
2Not yet listed ₹10L — ₹10,00,000 of what you hold is a single figure — list it as holdings to see its return.
The levers as the site draws them for the illustrative household, largest first, each with the figure its size came from.
- The subtitle names the age the plan currently projects.
- Each lever’s result in years, largest first, with the figure from the plan that its size came from.
Illustrative figures — not anybody’s real plan.
Two levers that are deliberately absent
“Work one more year” is not here because the age you reach independence is what is being solved for. “Earn a better return” is not here because it is not something you can simply decide, and pricing it would be investment advice. Each figure is one change on its own, not all of them together, and each is a projection on today’s assumptions, not a promise.
