DETAILS

About this NPS Calculator

This section explains what the calculator does, what goes into the result, and how to interpret the output so you can apply it confidently.

What this tool does

Purpose

This calculator turns a few key inputs into a clear output you can act on — a number that traders and investors commonly use for planning and decision-making.

Use it to compare scenarios quickly and to understand the trade-offs behind the final result.

When it is helpful

  • To sanity-check assumptions before committing money.
  • To compare two or more scenarios side-by-side (conservative vs aggressive).
  • To convert a “feel” into a number you can plan around.
  • To learn what the metric means and how it is used in practice.

How to read the result

Interpretation

Treat the output as a planning number. Small changes in inputs (time, rate, price, quantity, risk, or cashflows) can change the outcome meaningfully — so keep assumptions realistic.

If the tool returns multiple outputs, focus on the ones that drive decisions (e.g., net result, breakeven, or risk-adjusted value), not just the biggest number.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Using overly optimistic return assumptions.
  • Ignoring fees/taxes where they matter.
  • Optimizing precision instead of making a better decision.
  • Treating the result as a prediction instead of a plan.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much of NPS corpus is tax-free?+

60% of the NPS corpus at maturity is completely tax-free. The remaining 40% must be used to buy an annuity plan — the monthly pension from this annuity is taxed at your slab rate.

What is the minimum annuity purchase?+

PFRDA mandates that at least 40% of NPS corpus must be used to purchase an annuity at retirement. The remaining 60% can be withdrawn as tax-free lumpsum.

What extra tax benefit does NPS give?+

Section 80CCD(1B) allows an additional ₹50,000 deduction over and above the ₹1.5 lakh 80C limit — exclusive to NPS. This makes NPS highly tax-efficient for salaried individuals in high tax brackets.

Which NPS fund to choose?+

Most financial advisors recommend 75% equity (Tier 1, Scheme E) for those under 50. After 50, PFRDA auto-reduces equity allocation by 2.5% per year in the Lifecycle Fund option. Choose an Active Choice for more control.
