Benefits of Using LIC Pension Plan Calculator

The primary reason for using the LIC pension scheme calculator is to check up the financials. In pension plans, the annuity amount is the crucial factor to determine the amount to be invested. The annuity is a substitute for the regular income one has used during the active working life. It is ideally suited for those who don't have pensionable income like the government employees to ensure post-retirement financial independence. Let us take a look at what the calculator offers.

• Easy to Use: The LIC pension calculator is a versatile, powerful, and user-friendly tool that any layman can smoothly handle.

• Customisable Inputs: The LIC monthly income scheme calculator requires simple and precise inputs to help reach the desired outcome.

• Easy Financial Planning: It can also be used as an LIC monthly income plan calculator as it helps you understand how much pension you will receive on a monthly, quarterly, half-yearly and yearly basis.

• Quick Comparison: Using the LIC Pension Plan Single Premium Calculator, you can check and compare various LIC pension plans before purchasing. Even if you have to compare annuities under different options under the sample plan, tools like the LIC New Pension Plus calculator can be used to estimate annuity amounts for the four fund options the policy offers.

• Empowerment: The LIC pension calculator requires only basic details to compute all the benefits and financial implications of the chosen plan. There is no dependency on any third party.
