The National Pension System (NPS) is a government-backed retirement savings scheme designed to provide financial security after retirement. It allows individuals to invest regularly during their working years and accumulate a retirement corpus.
Our NPS Calculator helps you estimate your retirement corpus, lump sum withdrawal amount, annuity purchase value, and expected monthly pension.
What is NPS?
NPS (National Pension System) is regulated by PFRDA and offers market-linked returns by investing in equity, corporate bonds, and government securities.
NPS Tier I vs Tier II

How NPS Returns Are Calculated
NPS works similar to SIP investments. Monthly contributions grow through compounding over time.
Future Value Formula:
FV = P × [(1+r)^n − 1] / r × (1+r)
Example of NPS Calculation
If you invest ₹5,000 per month at 10% annual return from age 30 to 60, your retirement corpus can grow significantly due to long-term compounding.
