1. What is the Pension Plan Calculator?

The Pension Plan Calculator helps estimate the future value of your LIC (India) pension investments by calculating the growth of your initial investment plus regular contributions over time, considering compound interest.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the pension formula:

\[ FV = P \times (1 + r / n)^{(n \times t)} + PMT \times [((1 + r / n)^{(n \times t)} - 1) / (r / n)] \]

Where:

\( FV \) — Future pension pot (INR)
\( P \) — Initial amount (INR)
\( r \) — Annual growth rate (decimal)
\( n \) — Compounding periods per year (unitless)
\( t \) — Time in years (years)
\( PMT \) — Periodic contribution (INR per period)

Explanation: The formula calculates compound growth on both the initial investment and regular contributions, providing an estimate of your future pension value.

3. Importance of Pension Planning

Details: Proper pension planning ensures financial security in retirement, helps maintain your standard of living, and provides peace of mind knowing you have a stable income source after leaving the workforce.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter all values in the specified units. The annual growth rate should be entered as a decimal (e.g., 0.08 for 8%). Compounding periods typically range from 1 (annual) to 12 (monthly).
