1. What is the Pension Plan Calculator?

The Pension Plan Calculator estimates the future value of your pension savings in Mauritius, taking into account initial investment, regular contributions, compound interest, and time horizon. It helps you plan for retirement by projecting your potential pension pot.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the pension plan formula:

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

Where:

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

Explanation: The formula calculates compound growth on both the initial investment and regular contributions, providing a comprehensive projection of retirement savings.

3. Importance of Pension Planning

Details: Proper pension planning ensures financial security in retirement, helps maintain your standard of living, and allows you to take advantage of compound growth over time. In Mauritius, with an aging population, personal pension planning is increasingly important.

4. Using the Calculator
