Contribution budgets are identical. Annuity allocation is an entered scenario, not automatic exit eligibility or tax exemption. NPS sector, age and corpus bands determine actual withdrawal rules. No tax benefit, charges or exit tax is netted.

Understand the calculation

What is an NPS vs Mutual Fund Calculator?

Compare corpus and an entered annuity allocation on identical deposits. No automatic withdrawal-eligibility or tax exemption inference. Sector, age and applicable exit rules must be checked.

Use the inputs that describe your actual situation. Change one assumption at a time, compare the results, and read the scope note alongside the number. The tool calculates a stated scenario; it does not decide whether an investment, policy or tax treatment is suitable for you.
