Goa on a Budget: How to Build a December Vacation Corpus with Just Rs 50,000 Monthly Salary

For many working professionals, a beach vacation in Goa is the ultimate way to sign off the year. But when you’re living on a Rs 50,000 salary, shelling out Rs 60,000–Rs 70,000 for flights, stays, and experiences can feel like a stretch. The trick is simple: start early, save smart.

Set a Travel Target and Let SIPs Do the Work
According to SIP calculators used by market analysts, investing just Rs 10,000 per month from January to December with an expected annual return of 12% can generate a corpus of approximately Rs 1,27,665.
Here’s the breakdown:
Monthly SIP: Rs 10,000
Duration: 12 months
Total Invested: Rs 1,20,000
Expected Returns: Rs 7,665
Final Corpus by December: Rs 1,27,665

This gives you enough room to not only fund your Goa trip but also add a buffer for spontaneous upgrades—like a sea-view room or scuba diving sessions.

How to Budget Rs 10K Monthly from a Rs 50K Income

A Rs 10,000 SIP might sound steep, but with smart planning, it’s very achievable:
Rent + Utilities: Rs 15,000
Food & Essentials: Rs 8,000
Commute: Rs 3,000
Entertainment: Rs 4,000
SIP for Travel: Rs 10,000
Misc./Buffer: Rs 10,000

Small sacrifices—like fewer food deliveries, cancelling unused subscriptions, or switching to public transport—can help free up this investment without cramping your lifestyle.
