What this tool does
Uses the official Atal Pension Yojana contribution table to show the monthly contribution and the overall payment schedule for a given joining age and desired monthly pension.
How to use it
- Enter your age at joining; it must be between 18 and 40.
- Enter the desired monthly pension.
- Run it for the monthly contribution, contribution years, and total paid.
Worked example
Joining at 30 for a 5,000 monthly pension gives a 577 monthly contribution over 30 years, with 207,720 scheduled in total.
Frequently asked questions
- Why is the monthly contribution higher if I join later?
- The pension starts at 60, so a later start leaves fewer contribution years. Matching the same pension requires paying more each month.
- Can anyone join?
- This tool does not assess eligibility. Since 2022-10-01, new enrolment is not open to anyone who is or has been an income-tax payer as of the application date, and the bank verifies eligibility.
What this tool does not cover
A lookup of the official table assuming on-time monthly payment. Late-payment charges, early exit, changing the pension tier, tax treatment, and nominee payout procedures are out of scope. Check official sources before enrolling.
