What can this calculator estimate?

It compares spending, manually entered pensions and accessible savings in CNY, in today's purchasing power.

Use your own after-tax pension estimate. Read the full example

01

Identify the schemes on your record

China's retirement provision includes basic pension insurance, enterprise or occupational annuities, and personal provision. A general description of these pillars cannot establish your benefit. Ask the relevant social insurance service or provider for the scheme, amount and payment date applying to you.

02

Keep account balances separate from payments

An annuity account balance and the monthly pension purchased with it describe the same resource. Choose the payment route or the accessible-capital route in the plan. Do not assume a restricted personal pension account can fund living costs before its permitted withdrawal date.

03

Build a budget in yuan

Convert all inputs to after-tax monthly amounts in today's yuan. Keep housing, family support and medical expenses in the spending budget. The model does not determine retirement age, contribution history, local benefit formulas, tax relief or future policy changes.

Using the calculator

  1. Obtain your personal basic-pension projection from the appropriate official service.
  2. Check whether an annuity projection is a monthly payment or an account balance.
  3. Enter accessible assets in CNY and compare the years with and without pension payments.
  4. Use today's purchasing power for every amount. Compare more than one return, spending target and planning horizon.
