How Does the NPS Calculator Work?
The NPS Calculator estimates your retirement corpus based on your current age, retirement age, monthly contribution, and expected rate of return. As your contributions remain invested, the returns can generate further returns over time. This compounding effect can help your retirement corpus grow, especially when you stay invested for a longer period.
The calculator also shows how your estimated NPS corpus could be divided at retirement. You can enter the percentage of your corpus you plan to use for purchasing an annuity. Based on the annuity rate you enter, the calculator estimates the monthly pension that the annuity could generate. The remaining portion of the corpus is shown as the lump sum amount.
FundsIndia's NPS Calculator brings these calculations together to give you a clearer picture of your retirement savings. Enter your details, adjust your contribution, expected return, annuity percentage, or annuity rate, and the calculator instantly updates your estimated pension wealth, interest earned, annuity amount, lump sum amount, and monthly pension.
NPS can be an important part of your retirement planning, but it doesn't have to be your only investment. You can complement your retirement savings with mutual funds and other investments based on your financial goals and risk appetite. Open a mutual fund account with FundsIndia and build a diversified long-term portfolio.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the National Pension System, and how does it work?
The National Pension System, or NPS, is a government-backed retirement savings scheme. You contribute regularly during your working years, and the accumulated corpus, along with returns earned on it, becomes available when you exit the scheme as per the applicable NPS withdrawal rules.
What is the formula used by the NPS calculator?
The NPS calculator uses the compound interest formula: A = P (1 + r/n)^(nt). Here, P is the contribution amount, r is the expected rate of return, n is the compounding frequency, and t is the number of years remaining until retirement.
Who is eligible to invest in NPS?
Any resident of India between 18 and 85 years of age can open an NPS account and build a retirement corpus.
Can I withdraw the entire NPS corpus at retirement?
No. Under NPS rules, a portion of the retirement corpus must be used to purchase an annuity, which provides you with a regular pension. The remaining corpus can be withdrawn as a lump sum, subject to the applicable NPS withdrawal rules and taxation.
How does starting early affect my NPS corpus?
Starting early gives your contributions more time and more compounding cycles to grow. This means the corpus you build with smaller, early contributions can end up larger than one built with bigger contributions started later.
Can I change my monthly contribution amount later?
Yes. NPS allows you to adjust your contribution amount over time, and FundsIndia's calculator lets you test how different contribution levels affect your projected corpus.
What do monthly contribution, expected return, and age mean in the calculator?
Monthly contribution is the amount you plan to invest each month. Expected return is the annual rate of growth you assume on your contributions. Current age and retirement age help the calculator determine your investment period and estimate your retirement corpus.
