NSC Calculator

The National Savings Scheme (NSC) is a fixed-income, fixed-tenure investment plan available in Post Office branches. It is a government-backed investment scheme that primarily encourages investors with a small investable corpus to deposit in a low-cost and low-risk fund. Since the rate of return on NSC is fixed, it is easy to calculate the maturity amount in advance. It can be done manually or with an NSC calculator, which saves time and effort by eliminating the chances of human error.

NSC calculator is an online tool that uses inputs on variables such as investment amount and rate of interest (fixed rate) to determine the return on investment. The amount compounds annually and the interest generated is reinvested. It helps the investor’s money earn higher returns at the end of the 5-year period.

NSC is a fixed-income scheme run by the government of India. Hence, it ensures returns. The interest on NSC is fixed and compounded annually.

The online NSC calculator on Angel One can be used to quickly calculate the return on maturity without wasting time on manual calculations. It is a simple tool that functions based on the inputs provided by the user.

Let’s understand it better with an example.

Suppose you have Rs. 5,00,000 to invest in NSC schemes for an interest rate of 7.7%. The duration is fixed. To calculate the final amount, follow the steps below.

• Go to the NSC calculator page on Angel One
• Enter Rs. 5 lakh under ‘total investment’
• The interest rate is fixed at 7.7% for the June quarter of 2023.
• The lock-in period is 5 years, already fixed

The calculator will instantaneously calculate the future value at the end of the 5 years as Rs. 7,24,517 and the estimated returns earned for the period, as Rs. 2,24,517. You can repeat the process for different investment values to compare the returns before investing.

Calculating returns on NSC can be tedious and complex. A calculator helps you save time and effort while assisting you in making the right financial decision.
