Plan retirement in 5 simple steps:
Input current age (18-60) and desired retirement age (50-75). More investment years = exponentially higher retirement corpus due to compounding.
Choose comfortable monthly contribution (βΉ500-βΉ2L or equivalent). Start small, increase 10-15% yearly with salary hikes for wealth acceleration.
Set realistic return (8-14%). Historical NPS returns: Conservative 8-9%, Balanced 10-11%, Aggressive 12-13%. Adjust based on risk appetite.
Choose annuity percentage (minimum 40%). Higher allocation = higher monthly pension, lower lump sum. 40% recommended for balanced retirement income.
See total corpus, monthly pension, lump sum amount, and tax benefits. Plan secure retirement with predictable lifetime income.
Deduction up to βΉ2 lakh under 80CCD(1B) + employer contribution under 80CCD(2). Save βΉ60,000+ annually in 30% tax bracket.
Historical returns 10-12% annually. Choose from conservative to aggressive funds. Outperforms traditional pension plans and fixed deposits significantly.
Guaranteed monthly income after retirement till death. Financial security for you and spouse. Protection against longevity risk and market volatility.
60% lump sum withdrawal at retirement tax-free. Use for major expenses, healthcare, or investments. Remaining 40% provides pension security.
One account for lifetime, across jobs and cities. Continue same NPS even after job changes. Transfer between fund managers without hassle.
Lowest fund management charges (0.01-0.09%) among all retirement products. More savings compound to create significantly higher retirement corpus.
Choose strategy based on age and risk appetite:
Starting at 25 vs 35 can mean 2-3x higher corpus. Even βΉ2,000/month at 25 beats βΉ10,000/month at 40 due to compounding magic.
Raise monthly investment by 10-15% annually with salary hikes. This strategy can double your retirement corpus without feeling the pinch.
Manage own asset allocation (Active Choice) instead of Auto Choice. Adjust equity-debt ratio based on age for 1-2% higher returns annually.
Prioritize Tier 1 (locked till 60) over Tier 2 for tax benefits. βΉ50,000 in Tier 1 saves βΉ15,000 tax (30% bracket) - that's 30% instant return!
Rebalance portfolio yearly. Reduce equity by 2-3% every 5 years after 40. Protects corpus from market crashes near retirement.
Avoid premature withdrawals even if allowed. Every βΉ1L withdrawn at 40 costs βΉ4-5L at 60. Let compounding work its magic.
Calculate exact retirement corpus in seconds. See how monthly contributions compound into crores over decades with realistic return assumptions.
Know exact monthly pension you'll receive for lifetime. Plan post-retirement lifestyle, healthcare, and expenses with confidence.

NPS is a voluntary retirement savings scheme offering market-linked returns, tax benefits, and lifetime pension. Government-regulated, low-cost pension system available to all citizens. Invest monthly, build corpus over decades, receive pension after retirement. Two tiers: Tier 1 (locked till 60, tax benefits) and Tier 2 (flexible, no tax benefits).
Pension depends on corpus and annuity rate. Example: βΉ1 crore corpus, 40% annuity (βΉ40L) at 6% rate = βΉ20,000/month pension. Larger corpus = higher pension. Annuity rates 5-8% currently. Monthly contribution of βΉ10,000 for 30 years at 10% can create βΉ2.2Cr corpus, giving βΉ44,000/month pension.
Triple tax benefits: (1) Section 80CCD(1): Up to βΉ1.5L under overall βΉ1.5L limit (80C+80CCD), (2) Section 80CCD(1B): Additional βΉ50K exclusive deduction, (3) Section 80CCD(2): 10% of salary (employer contribution). Total potential deduction: βΉ2 lakh. Save βΉ62,400 annually in 30% bracket + cess.
Partial withdrawals allowed after 3 years (max 25% corpus) for specific needs: child education, marriage, home purchase, medical emergency. But avoid if possible - early withdrawal kills compounding. Premature exit (before 60) allowed but 80% must buy annuity. After 60: 60% lump sum, 40% annuity mandatory.
Age-based strategy works best: 20-35 years: Aggressive (75% equity), 35-50 years: Balanced (50% equity), 50-60 years: Conservative (25% equity). Or use Auto Choice - automatically reduces equity with age. Active Choice gives control but needs yearly rebalancing. Aggressive suitable for young with 20+ years to retirement.
