Returns depend on the funds you choose and are not guaranteed. Annuity rates are set by insurers when you buy, so the pension is an illustration. Government employees have different exit rules.

How to use the NPS calculator

Exit rules used, for non-government subscribers, as reported for the PFRDA amendment published on 16 December 2025: up to 80% of the corpus can be taken as a lump sum and at least 20% must buy an annuity. If the corpus is ₹8 lakh or less, all of it can be taken as a lump sum; between ₹8 lakh and ₹12 lakh, the lump sum is capped at ₹6 lakh. Contributions are invested at the start of each month and compound monthly.

  1. Enter your age and when you’ll retire.
  2. Enter your monthly contribution and any yearly raise.
  3. Enter an expected return (it depends on your equity and debt mix).
  4. Choose the share for the annuity (at least 20%) and an annuity rate to see the pension.

Questions

Which tax benefits does NPS have?
In the old regime, up to ₹50,000 a year of your own NPS contribution can be deducted under Section 80CCD(1B), on top of the ₹1.5 lakh Section 80C limit. Employer contributions have their own rules. Check the current rules for your tax year.
Why is a higher annuity share an option?
More annuity means a bigger lifelong pension but a smaller lump sum. Drag the slider to find your balance.
