How the NPS Calculator works

Corpus at 60 uses the SIP formula for (60 − age) × 12 months. At exit, at least 40% must buy an annuity; the remaining up to 60% can be withdrawn tax-free:

Pension per month ≈ 40% × Corpus × annuity rate ÷ 12

Annuity rates depend on the insurer and plan you pick at 60; the rate you enter is an assumption.

Worked example

₹5,000 a month from age 30, assumed 10% return, 6% annuity rate:

Corpus at 60	₹1,13,96,627
Lumpsum (60%)	₹68,37,976
Annuity corpus (40%)	₹45,58,651
Est. monthly pension	₹22,793

On these assumptions: a corpus near ₹1,13,96,627 and a pension of about ₹22,793 a month.
