NPS Calculator

What is NPS Calculator?

The National Pension System (NPS) is a government-backed retirement savings scheme that offers market-linked returns with tax benefits. An NPS calculator estimates the corpus and monthly pension you can expect at retirement.

NPS combines equity and debt investments, allowing you to choose your asset allocation. It also offers an additional tax deduction of up to ₹50,000 under Section 80CCD(1B).

How does the NPS Calculator work?

The calculator takes your age, monthly contribution, expected return rate, and retirement age.

It estimates the total corpus at retirement, the lump sum you can withdraw (60%), and the monthly pension from the remaining 40% (annuity).

How to use the NPS Calculator?

1. Enter your current age and expected retirement age.
2. Enter your monthly NPS contribution.
3. Enter the expected annual return rate.
4. The calculator shows your retirement corpus, lump sum, and monthly pension.
