About PPF Calculator

The PPF Calculator estimates maturity for Public Provident Fund at the current 7.1% p.a. (compounded yearly) for India. PPF has a 15-year lock-in with extension in blocks of 5 years, and yearly deposit limit of Rs 500 to Rs 1.5 lakh. Interest is tax-free under EEE and calculated on the lowest balance between the 5th and last day of the month.

Formula

Maturity = P × [ (1 + r)^n - 1 ] / r × (1 + r) where P = yearly deposit, r = 7.1% = 0.071, n = years.
For monthly contributions, our tool compounds yearly as per PPF rules (deposit credited yearly).

Example

Rs 1,50,000 yearly × 15 years @ 7.1%
Invested: Rs 22,50,000
Maturity: ~Rs 40,68,209
Interest: ~Rs 18,18,209
Extend to 20 years → ~Rs 60,98,000 maturity.

How to use

  1. Enter yearly investment (500 to 150000).
  2. Set duration (15 to 50 years).
  3. Adjust rate if government revises (default 7.1%). See instant maturity, interest and invested total.
