How PPF maturity is estimated

Public Provident Fund (PPF) is a long-term savings scheme. You can invest up to ₹1.5 lakh each financial year, and interest is compounded annually.

This calculator assumes a yearly deposit at the start of each year and applies the chosen interest rate annually through the tenure (minimum 15 years, with optional extensions).

Worked example

Investing ₹1.5 lakh every year for 15 years at about 7.1% can build a multi-lakh tax-efficient corpus. Change the rate if the government revises PPF interest.

Use the chart to separate total invested amount from interest earned over the full tenure.

PPF planning tips

Deposit before the 5th of the month when possible for that month’s interest eligibility under typical PPF rules.

PPF contributions may qualify for Section 80C benefits within overall limits—confirm current tax law before relying on deductions.
