Net Worth Benchmarks by Age:
When it comes to money, everyone wonders “Am I saving enough?” A recent guide shows how much net worth people in different age groups in India should ideally have. Here’s a simple breakdown to help you understand where you stand financially.
In Your 20s
If you have even ₹2 to ₹5 lakh in savings or investments, you’re ahead of most people your age. Many young Indians in cities have a net worth of less than ₹2.5 lakh. This is the best time to build good financial habits like starting SIPs (Systematic Investment Plans), having an emergency fund, and avoiding overspending on luxury items.
In Your 30s
As your salary grows, so do responsibilities like loans, marriage, and children. If your net worth is between ₹30–45 lakh, you’re doing well. The average for salaried people in this group is around ₹20–30 lakh. Staying above ₹45 lakh means you’re on the right path toward financial freedom.
In Your 40s
This decade is crucial for wealth building. If your total wealth—like provident fund, mutual funds, and property—crosses ₹50 lakh, you’re in a good position. A target of around ₹85 lakh is ideal to stay ahead of the curve.
In Your 50s
By now, you should aim for a net worth of ₹1 crore. This shows you’ve planned well for retirement. It’s also time to reduce high-risk investments and think about estate planning.
In Your 60s and Beyond
A total wealth of ₹1.6 crore can give you financial independence in your retirement years. The focus should shift to planned withdrawals rather than taking risks with investments.
No matter what your age is, it’s never too late to start saving. Financial discipline and smart planning today can lead to a stress-free tomorrow.
