Want to project a PPF balance? PPF Calculator does it from your annual investment, interest rate and number of years and shows the maturity corpus clearly, with everything calculated in your browser.

Simplified estimate. This calculator assumes your annual contribution is invested at the start of each year (present for the full year) and compounds at the rate you enter. Actual PPF interest is calculated on the lowest balance between the 5th and last day of each month and credited at year-end, so real returns depend on your deposit timing. PPF has a 15-year lock-in and a ₹1,50,000 annual cap. Estimate only.
Enter your values and tap Calculate.

Estimate only. Not financial, investment, tax, retirement, pension, crypto, or legal advice. Returns, rates, fees, taxes, inflation, market prices, product rules, and government schemes can change. Verify with official sources or a qualified professional before relying on results. Scheme figures (EPF, PPF, NPS, FD, RD, pension, retirement) use simplified assumptions about contributions, compounding, and rates; real scheme rules and declared rates vary by provider and year.

FAQ

How is PPF maturity calculated?

Each annual deposit compounds yearly at the declared rate across the full term, and the yearly balances are summed into the maturity value.

Does the PPF Calculator send my data to a server?

No. The PPF Calculator runs entirely in your browser with JavaScript; the values you enter never leave your device and nothing is uploaded or saved.

Does PPF have a contribution limit and lock-in?

Yes. PPF requires a minimum 15-year lock-in and caps annual deposits at 1,50,000; this tool rejects a term under 15 years or a deposit above the cap.

Is the PPF interest rate fixed for the whole term?

No. The rate is reviewed periodically, so the actual maturity can differ from a projection that assumes a single constant rate.
