About this Asset Allocation Calculator

This section explains what the calculator does, what goes into the result, and how to interpret the output so you can apply it confidently.

What this tool does

Purpose

This calculator turns a few key inputs into a clear output you can act on — a number that traders and investors commonly use for planning and decision-making.

Use it to compare scenarios quickly and to understand the trade-offs behind the final result.

When it is helpful

  • To sanity-check assumptions before committing money.
  • To compare two or more scenarios side-by-side (conservative vs aggressive).
  • To convert a “feel” into a number you can plan around.
  • To learn what the metric means and how it is used in practice.

How to read the result

Interpretation

Treat the output as a planning number. Small changes in inputs (time, rate, price, quantity, risk, or cashflows) can change the outcome meaningfully — so keep assumptions realistic.

If the tool returns multiple outputs, focus on the ones that drive decisions (e.g., net result, breakeven, or risk-adjusted value), not just the biggest number.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Using overly optimistic return assumptions.
  • Ignoring fees/taxes where they matter.
  • Optimizing precision instead of making a better decision.
  • Treating the result as a prediction instead of a plan.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is the 100 minus age rule?+

A popular rule of thumb: keep (100 - your age)% in equity and the rest in debt. So a 30-year-old keeps 70% in equity, a 50-year-old keeps 50%. This calculator refines it further with risk tolerance and horizon.

Why include gold in the portfolio?+

Gold has low correlation with equity and acts as a hedge during market crashes and inflation spikes. A 5–15% gold allocation through SGBs or Gold ETFs is recommended for most Indian investors.

How often should I rebalance?+

Rebalance when any asset class drifts more than 5% from the target, or at least once a year. Annual rebalancing around March-April (before financial year end) is a common practice in India.

Should equity allocation include F&O trading capital?+

No — F&O trading capital should be treated as high-risk speculative capital and kept separate from your long-term investment portfolio.
