PPF Calculator

Calculate PPF maturity value with annual compounding.

ⓘ How this works

PPF (Public Provident Fund) is a long-term, government-backed savings scheme in India with a minimum lock-in of 15 years, popular because it's tax-free and the government sets a guaranteed interest rate each quarter. This calculator estimates how much your PPF account will be worth at maturity based on how much you contribute each year, with interest compounding annually. Projections hold today's rate constant for the whole term; the actual rate is revised every quarter, so treat long horizons as estimates.

Roughly 45% of your final corpus comes from growth, not contributions.
PPF has a 15-year lock-in with limited partial withdrawals from year 7. The rate shown is today's; it is revised quarterly by the government. Deposits are capped at ₹1.5L per year and qualify for Section 80C.

Risk note · Bank and small-savings rates change: FD/RD rates differ by bank and tenure, and the PPF rate is revised by the government every quarter. Projections hold today's rate constant. FD and RD interest is taxable at your slab (TDS may apply) — those figures are pre-tax; PPF interest is tax-exempt. Early withdrawal from an FD/RD usually carries a penalty; PPF is locked in for 15 years.
