Frequently asked questions on Pension Calculator

1 How is pension calculated?

Pension is calculated by estimating the regular expenses you'll have post-retirement. An online pension calculator considers your age, expected retirement age, current income, and savings. This helps it estimate the total savings you will have at retirement and whether it is sufficient for your golden years. Using this information, the online pension calculator determines your expected monthly expenses after retirement.

2 What is the formula to calculate pension?

Plan your retirement income using the formula: FV = PV (1+r)^n, where FV is the Future Value, PV is the Present Value, r is the expected inflation (say 6%), and n is the time to retirement (say 25 years). For instance, if you need Rs 18,00,000 annually after retiring, calculate the corpus using an (estimated) 8% rate of return, a 6% inflation rate, and a retirement period of 20 years (assuming longevity of 20 years post retirement). The formula helps estimate the amount needed and the corpus required to generate the income for a secure retirement.

3 How much pension will I get for 10 years?

Using the retirement planning formula (FV = PV (1+r)^n), let's break it down. Assuming you're 35 with a Rs 50,000 salary, aiming to retire at 60, you have 25 years till retirement. If your desired annual post-retirement income is Rs 18,00,000, with an 8% return rate and 6% inflation, your pension calculation reveals the corpus needed for 10 years of post-retirement bliss.


Utilizing the formula provides insights into securing the ideal pension amount for the next decade, aligning with your financial goals and aspirations. For 10 years, you will get Rs 18,00,000 annually.

4 What will be my pension when I retire in India?

You are entitled to a fixed pension if you are a government employee. People working in private organisations and making PF contributions are eligible for pension under the Employees' Pension Scheme (EPS) on fulfilment of some terms and conditions.


In all other cases, you need to provide for your own pension after retirement. This can be done by investing in a pension plan while still working. The amount of pension you get after retirement will depend upon the amount you invest in the pension plan regularly, among other factors.
