NPS calculator

Project your National Pension System corpus to retirement, then split it the way the current rules allow — lump sum, annuity and estimated monthly pension.

Optional: raise the contribution yearly.
Depends on your equity/debt mix; an assumption, not a promise.
Minimum 20% since Dec 2025 (was 40%). At 40%+ the whole lump sum stays tax-free.
Single-life annuities typically quote ~5.5-7.5%.
