📘 About the PPF Calculator

The Public Provident Fund (PPF) is a 15-year, government-backed savings scheme with a fixed lock-in and tax-free returns. It suits long-term goals such as retirement.

Enter your deposit per period, the current PPF rate and how often you deposit to see the projected maturity, your total deposits and the interest earned.

🧮 Formula

Maturity (yearly deposit before 5 April)
M = D × (1 + r) × [(1 + r)¹⁵ − 1] ÷ r
Interest
Interest = M − total deposits

Where

  • D = yearly deposit (₹500 to ₹1.5 lakh)
  • r = PPF rate ÷ 100 (7.1% → 0.071)
Real PPF interest is credited once a year. This calculator lets you choose a compounding frequency, so treat the result as a close estimate.
