NPS Calculator (Tier 1 & Tier 2) – Plan Your Retirement Smartly
The National Pension System (NPS) Calculator helps you estimate your retirement corpus based on monthly contributions to Tier 1 and Tier 2 accounts. It projects your total savings, inflation-adjusted value, tax-free withdrawal amount, and annuity requirement.
What This NPS Calculator Does
This advanced NPS retirement calculator:
- Calculates Tier 1 and Tier 2 corpus separately
- Applies monthly compounding returns
- Shows retirement corpus year-by-year
- Adjusts corpus for inflation
- Estimates 60% tax-free lump sum
- Calculates mandatory 40% annuity portion
How NPS Calculation Works
The calculation uses compound interest formula:
Future Value = Contribution × [(1 + r)^n − 1] / r
Where:
- r = Monthly return rate
- n = Total months
Tier 1 Rules
- Tax benefits under Section 80C & 80CCD(1B)
- 60% withdrawal tax-free at retirement
- 40% mandatory annuity purchase
Tier 2 Features
- Voluntary savings account
- No mandatory annuity
- Flexible withdrawals
Real Example
If you invest ₹10,000 monthly in Tier 1 and ₹5,000 in Tier 2 at 10% expected return for 25 years, your corpus can grow significantly due to compounding.
Why NPS Is Powerful
- Low fund management cost
- Market-linked returns
- Tax-efficient retirement tool

Inflation Matters
A ₹1 crore corpus today will not have the same purchasing power in 25 years. Always consider inflation-adjusted value.
