The fourth financial calculation of the National Pension indicates that the National Pension Fund will deplete in 2057. In the experience of advanced welfare states, the public pension system is sustainable if the pension expenditure to be paid to the elderly generation is raised by the pay as you go method, which collects the contribution from the working generation at that time. However, if the contribution burden imposed by the pay as you go method is too heavy, the working generation at that time can resist the burden of the contribution, which could threaten then institutional sustainability of the system. The limit of the institutionally sustainable contribution rate is defined as the contribution rate of pension actuarial balance. I set up a national pension financing model based on the population projection of the National Statistical Office in 2019, and verified whether the contribution rate of pay as you go exceeds the threshold set in this study. It is also aimed to find ways to maintain institutional sustainability based on the results. As a result of the national pension financing estimation simulation, it is found that under the current structure of the national pension system, the contribution rate by the pay as you go method exceeds the contribution limit line, and the incentive to join the national pension system may decrease. However, if the funds are not depleted by raising the contribution rate at the level of actuarial balance, it can be maintained at the institutional sustainable contribution level until 2100.
