Pension Calculator â Retirement Corpus, Annuity Rates & Replacement Income
The Pension Calculator estimates the total retirement corpus accumulated by your planned retirement age and projects the monthly pension annuity income it can sustainably generate throughout your golden years.
The Three Critical Retirement Variables
1. Accumulation Horizon: The compounding duration during which monthly contributions grow in equity and debt instruments. 2. Post-Retirement Inflation: If medical and living expenses inflate at 6% annually, living expenses will double every 12 years. 3. Annuity Purchase Rate: The percentage return guaranteed by life insurance annuity providers (typically 5.5%â6.5% for life annuities with return of purchase price in India).
In India, structured pension systems like the National Pension System (NPS) require investing at least 40% of the maturity corpus into an approved annuity scheme. For fixed government-backed long-term compounding, also evaluate the PPF Calculator.
