Plan Your Retirement with WealthSure Pension Calculator
The WealthSure Pension Calculator helps Indian taxpayers and first-time filers estimate their retirement corpus, monthly pension, NPS-style lump sum, annuity requirement, and possible tax benefits with greater clarity. In India, pension planning is no longer only about saving for the future; it is also about understanding income tax filing, old vs new tax regime choices, deduction eligibility, documentation, and compliance before the due date.
Many taxpayers delay retirement planning because income tax filing feels complex, deductions are misunderstood, and the fear of notices, penalties, mismatch errors, or wrong regime selection creates anxiety. This tool converts complicated pension and tax rules into practical estimates.

Why Pension Planning Matters More During ITR Filing
Retirement planning and tax filing are closely connected. The wrong deduction claim or regime choice can reduce savings, delay refunds, or create compliance stress.
Income tax filing feels complicated
Salary, capital gains, interest income, rent, business income, Form 16, AIS, TIS, Form 26AS, and deductions can confuse taxpayers, especially first-time filers.
Old vs new regime confusion
The new regime offers lower slab rates with limited deductions. The old regime may still help taxpayers who use eligible deductions.
Fear of notices and penalties
Mismatched income, missed disclosures, inflated deductions, or incorrect pension entries may trigger notices or delay processing.
How This Pension Calculator Works
This Pension Calculator estimates your retirement corpus by compounding monthly contributions until retirement. It then splits the corpus between lump sum and annuity based on your selected annuity percentage.

- Estimates lump sum, annuity corpus, and monthly pension.
- Shows today’s value of pension after inflation adjustment.
Tax Treatment: NPS and Pension Income
NPS tax planning generally has three layers: your own contribution, additional self-contribution, and employer contribution under applicable limits. The old and new regimes should be compared using actual income, deduction and salary structure.
- Old regime may benefit taxpayers with strong deduction usage.
- New regime may benefit taxpayers with fewer deductions and lower compliance complexity.
- Annuity income is generally taxable as income when received.
