What can this calculator estimate?

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

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

01

Check the NPS date for your own record

National Pension access depends on the applicable age and insured history. NPS explains different old-age pension categories and how earnings may affect payments. Use your personal estimate and date; the example ages on this page are not an eligibility assessment.

02

Distinguish retirement benefits from public pension

An employer retirement benefit or private account is a separate resource from National Pension. Establish whether it will fund recurring payments or remain available capital. Count the resource once, and check its access and tax conditions with the provider.

03

Model a work-to-pension gap

Stopping full-time work can happen before pension payments start. Enter spending during that gap and compare the savings balance after each year. The model does not calculate contribution credits, early or deferred pension adjustments, employment-income tests or health insurance.

Using the calculator

  1. Obtain the NPS estimate for the payment date you intend to compare.
  2. Separate workplace retirement assets from pensions purchased with those assets.
  3. Enter monthly net figures in won and examine the bridge years.
  4. Use today's purchasing power for every amount. Compare more than one return, spending target and planning horizon.
