This page is a guide to NPS planning inputs. It has no interactive NPS calculator. Contribution totals, projected market value and retirement income are separate questions.

Calculate the contribution total

At an assumed ₹2,000 a month for twenty years, contributions total ₹4,80,000: ₹2,000 × 12 × 20. This excludes investment gains, losses and charges.

Choose explicit growth assumptions

A projection needs contribution dates, changes in contributions, the investment period and an assumed return. Returns can vary, so compare more than one scenario rather than treating a smooth annual growth rate as a promise.

Assess retirement income separately

Any withdrawal or annuity estimate must use the rules applicable to your subscriber category and exit circumstances. An annuity’s actual quotation and terms determine its income. This guide does not apply an automatically updated annuity percentage or current eligibility rule.

Check current PFRDA and NPS terms before making an exit or investment decision.
