Understanding nps calculator
Separate the investment accumulation estimate from the annuity purchase decision. Market-linked portfolio growth is uncertain, while an actual annuity quote depends on the contract chosen. Changing the allocation increases one component while reducing the other; it does not create additional wealth or verify compliance with exit rules.
Formula and calculation method
Projected corpus uses monthly end-of-period contributions. Annuity purchase = corpus × chosen annuity share. Monthly pension scenario = annuity purchase × assumed annual payout / 12.
India NPS investment and annuity scenario, not an eligibility or exit-rule checker. Annuity allocation is editable and is not claimed to be the current minimum for every account type or exit situation. Actual annuity quotations depend on provider, age and benefit option. Returns are not guaranteed.

Factors affecting your result
India NPS investment and annuity scenario, not an eligibility or exit-rule checker. Annuity allocation is editable and is not claimed to be the current minimum for every account type or exit situation. Actual annuity quotations depend on provider, age and benefit option. Returns are not guaranteed.
Changing existing nps corpus changes the scenario being evaluated. Adjust one input at a time when comparing results, keep a copy of the assumptions, and compare values using the same unit and period. A precise arithmetic result does not make an uncertain assumption precise.
