How Does the NPS Calculator Work?
NPS allows you to invest across four asset classes: Equity (E), Corporate Bonds (C), Government Securities (G), and Alternative Investments (A). Your returns depend on your asset allocation (Active or Auto choice).
Maturity Corpus = Total Contributions + Compounded Market Returns
Where:
• Minimum 40% of maturity corpus MUST be used to buy an Annuity (monthly pension)
• Maximum 60% of maturity corpus can be withdrawn as a tax-free lumpsum
• Returns are market-linked (historically 9-12% for Equity-heavy portfolios)
Tier I Account: The primary pension account with a strict lock-in until age 60. This account is eligible for all tax deductions.
Tier II Account: A voluntary investment account with no lock-in (you can withdraw anytime). It has no tax benefits (except for Govt employees specifying a 3-year lock-in). You must have a Tier I account to open a Tier II account.
Active Choice vs Auto Choice: In Active Choice, you decide the exact % allocation (max 75% in Equity). In Auto Choice, the system automatically reduces your equity exposure as you age to protect your corpus.
Tax Benefits (EEE): Investments are exempt, returns are exempt, and the 60% lumpsum withdrawal at age 60 is completely tax-free. The annuity income is taxed as per your slab.
Example: ₹5,000/month NPS Investment (Age 30)
Ravi (Age 30) decides to invest ₹5,000 every month in NPS until age 60 (30 years). He chooses an aggressive equity allocation and expects 10% p.a. returns. • Total Invested: ₹18,00,000 over 30 years • Interest Earned: ₹95,98,217 • Total Maturity Corpus: ₹1.13 Crores At age 60, Ravi takes 60% (₹68 Lakhs) as a tax-free lumpsum and uses the mandatory 40% (₹45 Lakhs) to buy an annuity at an expected 6% annuity rate. Result: Ravi gets ₹68 Lakhs cash in hand AND a lifelong guaranteed pension of ~₹22,800 every month!
Monthly Investment: ₹5,000
Duration: 30 Years (Age 30 to 60)
Maturity Corpus: ₹1.13 Crores
Tax-Free Lumpsum (60%): ₹68,38,930
Monthly Pension (from 40%): ₹22,796/month
