🧮 Formula for calculating Pension amounts

The calculator uses the compound interest formula to estimate the total corpus and then splits it for pension calculation.

1. Total Corpus (Compound Interest)

A = P × [ (1+r)^n - 1 ] / r × (1+r)

Where P = Monthly Investment, r = Monthly Interest Rate, n = Total Months.

2. Monthly Pension

Pension = (Total Corpus × % Annuity × Annuity Rate) / 12

Example: If Corpus is ₹1 Cr, Annuity share is 40%, and Rate is 6%: Pension = (1 Cr × 40% × 6%) / 12 = ₹20,000/month.

🛠️ How to use the NPS calculator?

  1. Enter Monthly Investment: Input the amount you can contribute towards NPS every month (e.g., ₹5,000).
  2. Your Age: Enter your current age. The calculator assumes retirement at 60 years.
  3. Expected Returns: Adjust the ROI slider based on your risk appetite (Equity-heavy NPS funds may give 10-12%, Debt funds 8-9%).
  4. Annuity Settings: Choose how much percentage (min 40%) you want to invest in an annuity plan for monthly pension.
