How Pension Is Calculated Under UPS
This calculator follows the standard UPS pension structure, where:

- Contributions are calculated monthly based on pay
- Government contribution is matched as per input
- Salary grows annually using the increment percentage
The calculator focuses on pension income, not market returns or investment performance.
