NPS Calculator
NPS Calculator is part of Toolspire and is ready as soon as this page loads. The split is the simplified exit illustration used in many NPS explanations. It is not a tax calculation and not your PRAN statement.

What you can do here
Corpus first, pension not invented
The page stops at the amount that would buy an annuity. It does not guess the annuity rate.
A fixed 60/40 illustration
Exit rules and thresholds change. Treat 40% as a labelled assumption, written in the detail.
One return for the whole term
Equity, corporate bond and government schemes are not modelled separately. You type one blended rate.
The sequence
How to use the NPS Calculator
- 1
Add employer money into the monthly box
If your employer puts in ₹2,000 and you put in ₹3,000, type ₹5,000.
- 2
Use a blended return
A 75% equity allocation will not earn the same as a government-bond allocation. Type the mix you actually hold.
- 3
Read the 60/40 line as a sketch
The lump sum is not cash in hand after tax. Check the current NPS exit rules before you plan spending.
Worth knowing
- NPS Calculator on Toolspire: the corpus is a monthly contribution compounded every month, the same shape as a flat SIP.
- The detail splits that corpus 60% lump sum and 40% annuity purchase. No annuity rate is assumed, so there is no pension figure.
- At 0%, the corpus equals contribution × months, and the split is exact.
- Employer contribution is included only if you add it into the monthly amount.
What the number is actually counting
Each month the contribution is added and the balance grows by annual return ÷ 12. At the end, 40% of the corpus is labelled as the annuity purchase and 60% as the lump sum. That split is a teaching assumption. It skips tax, the Tier II account, and the rule changes that depend on corpus size.
