Calculate NPS (National Pension Scheme) Returns Online

NPS or National Pension Scheme calculator allows an individual to compute the provisional lump sum and pension amount a subscriber, under NPS, can expect at retirement based on the contributions made monthly; the annuity purchased, the expected rate of returns on investments, and the annuity. The NPS calculator only illustrates the tentative pension and does not guarantee the exact figure.

Who can use the NPS calculator?

The NPS calculator can be used by all individuals who are eligible to invest in the National Pension Scheme.
Eligibility criteria: The NPS rules state that all Indian citizens over the age of 18 years but not more than 60 years are eligible to invest in the pension scheme. Also, applicants will be required to comply with the Know-Your-Customer (KYC) guidelines to start investing in the NPS scheme.

How To Use the NPS Calculator

First, you will be required to enter the following details in an ordered manner:
Investment Amount – Enter the amount you would like to contribute every month.
Your age – The calculator will calculate the number of years you will be able to contribute to the scheme after entering your age.
Expected Return on Investment (ROI) –Choose your desired return on investment.
Percentage of Annuity to be Purchased –This is the percentage of the corpus, i.e. pension wealth you would like to reinvest to purchase an annuity on maturity. An annuity in NPS refers to the pension the NPS subscriber would receive every month from the Annuity Service Provider (ASP).
Note: The percentage of corpus to be reinvested in an annuity cannot be less than 40%. However, if you plan on exiting the scheme prematurely, i.e. before the age of 60, the minimum percentage of pension wealth to be reinvested in an annuity is 80%.
Expected Annuity Rate –Enter the expected rate of annuity, i.e. the amount you expect from your pension.
Once all the inputs have been entered, the NPS calculator will simultaneously begin computing the lump sum and pension amount you can expect at the time of maturity.
The calculator generates a summary of your pension account at the time of retirement with the total amount you would have contributed during the period and the corpus generated on maturity.
Also, the NPS calculator computes your expected monthly pension that you would receive based on the returns you expect on the Annuity.

Illustration on NPS Calculation

Here is an example to help you understand how the NPS calculator computes your monthly pension.
Mr Vineeth is a 24-year old central government employee. He subscribes for the National Pension Scheme and decides to contribute Rs 2,000 every month towards the scheme. NPS matures when the subscriber turns 60 years of age. Meaning, Vineeth will able to contribute for the next 36 years towards the scheme and expects a return on investment (ROI) of 9% per annum. In the same line, he would like to purchase an annuity for 50% and expect a 7% rate of return on the annuity.
The status of Vineeth’s pension account at retirement as generated by the NPS calculator will be as follows:
Total investment: Rs 8,64,000
Total corpus generated: Rs 65,08,958
Also, a summary of his pension account would be generated by the calculator.
Lump sum value: Rs 32,54,479
Annuity value: Rs 32,54,479
Expected monthly pension: Rs 18,984
