NPS Calculator: How much to invest in NPS for Rs 5 lakh monthly pension? Check calculation

NPS Calculator: The National Pension System (NPS) has gained recognition as a prominent retirement planning instrument for employees in both the public and private sectors across the nation. It is specifically designed to promote long-term savings for retirement, offering an effective means to accumulate a pension corpus.

For individuals seeking to secure a pension through investment, the NPS presents a feasible option. A notable advantage of this financial vehicle is the absence of limits on the investment amount. Let us examine the savings necessary to attain a monthly pension exceeding Rs 5 lakh.

What Makes NPS Unique?

The NPS is a government-supported retirement savings initiative that enables individuals to create a retirement corpus while benefiting from tax advantages. A significant characteristic of the NPS is its flexibility, allowing investors to choose a mix of equity and debt investments based on their risk tolerance.

Another compelling aspect of the NPS is its cost-effectiveness. The scheme boasts some of the lowest fund management fees among retirement plans. This, coupled with the benefits of compounding over an extended period, renders the NPS an attractive choice for those aiming to build wealth for their retirement years.

Calculation with Illustrations

Let’s understand the same with an example. Suppose you are 30-year old and you start saving Rs 39,000 per month in your NPS account, continuing this until you reach the age of 65. That means your total contribution will be spread over 35 years. With an expected annual return of 12% and 40% of your corpus going toward an annuity with an anticipated 6% return, you could expect a monthly pension of slightly over Rs 5 lakh through your NPS investment.

Now, let’s consider what happens if you start investing at the age of 40. If you contribute Rs 1.35 lakh per month until you turn 65, making a total contribution over 25 years, with an expected return of 12% and 40% of the corpus invested in an annuity at a 6% rate, you would still manage to secure a monthly pension of slightly over Rs 5 lakh.

You would need a bigger investment amount at age 40 as your total contribution years will be reduced to only 25 years.
