EPS Pension Calculator (India)

Estimate your monthly pension under the Employees' Pension Scheme (EPS) — the pension part of your EPF, often searched as the "EPF pension". Enter your pensionable salary and years of pensionable service.

Quick answer: EPS (EPF) pension = pensionable salary × pensionable service ÷ 70. For a ₹15,000 pensionable salary and 30 years of service that is ₹6,429 a month.

The Employees' Pension Scheme (EPS) pays a monthly pension to eligible EPF members after retirement. The pension is calculated from your average pensionable salary and your years of pensionable service, using a fixed formula. This calculator gives an estimate — enter your pensionable salary and service above. If you also want the EPF corpus itself (not the pension), use our EPF calculator.

EPF pension and EPS — the same thing

People often search for an "EPF pension calculator", but the pension part of the EPF is the Employees' Pension Scheme (EPS). Of the employer's 12% EPF contribution, 8.33% goes to EPS (the pension), which is what pays your monthly pension after retirement — so an EPF pension calculator and an EPS pension calculator are the same tool. The lump-sum EPF balance is separate and is worked out in the EPF calculator.

How EPS pension is calculated

Monthly pension = (pensionable salary × pensionable service) ÷ 70

Pensionable salary is the average of your last 60 months' pensionable wages, generally capped at ₹15,000 a month unless you opted to contribute on a higher wage.

Salary × serviceMonthly pension
₹15,000 × 20₹4,286
₹15,000 × 30₹6,429
₹15,000 × 35₹7,500

Worked example

Pensionable salary ₹15,000 with 30 years of service: (15,000 × 30) ÷ 70 = ₹6,429 a month.

Pensionable service and bonus

If your pensionable service is 20 years or more, EPS adds a 2-year bonus to your service in the formula. Early pension (from age 50) is reduced, and there are minimum-pension provisions. Because the ₹15,000 cap and rules are set by EPFO and can change, treat this as an estimate.
