Know what is NPS
NPS is a market linked scheme, that is, whatever you contribute in it, its return is decided according to the market. There are two types of accounts in this scheme, Tier 1 and Tier 2. Tier 1 account can be opened by any person but Tier-2 account can be opened only if you have a Tier-1 account. You can take 60 percent of the total amount invested in NPS in lump sum after turning 60 years old, that is, this amount is your retirement fund in a way. While at least 40 percent of the amount has to be used as annuity. You get pension from this annuity. How much pension you will get depends on your annuity.
This way you will get more than 50 thousand pension
Suppose you start investing in NPS at the age of 35, then you will have to invest in this scheme continuously for 60 years, that is, you will have to invest in the scheme for 25 years. To get a pension of more than 50 thousand rupees every month, you will have to invest at least 15,000 rupees every month. According to the NPS calculator, if you invest 15,000 rupees every month continuously for 25 years, then your total investment will be Rs 45,00,000. But at the rate of 10%, the interest on this will be Rs 1,55,68,356.
In this way, you will have a total of Rs 2,00,68,356. If you use 40% of this amount as annuity, then at the rate of 40%, Rs 80,27,342 will be your annuity and you will get Rs 1,20,41,014 as lump sum. If you get 8% return on the annuity amount, then you will get a pension of Rs 53,516 every month.
