What Is the PPF Calculator?

A PPF (Public Provident Fund) calculator computes the maturity corpus from annual contributions to India's PPF scheme across its 15-year lock-in period. PPF is a government-backed, tax-exempt savings scheme — one of the few in India offering EEE status (Exempt-Exempt-Exempt): contributions are tax-deductible under Section 80C, interest earned is tax-free, and the maturity corpus is tax-free.

Key PPF Rules (2025)

  • Current interest rate: 7.1% p.a. (government-set, revised quarterly)
  • Minimum annual contribution: ₹500
  • Maximum annual contribution: ₹1,50,000
  • Lock-in period: 15 years (extendable in 5-year blocks)
  • Partial withdrawal allowed after 7th year
  • Loan facility available from 3rd to 6th year

Why PPF Beats Most Tax-Saving Instruments

The EEE tax treatment means the effective post-tax return is significantly higher than the nominal 7.1% for taxpayers in higher slabs. A person in the 30% bracket investing ₹1.5 lakh/year saves ₹46,800 in tax upfront, earns tax-free interest, and receives a tax-free lump sum — making the effective return comparable to 10%+ pre-tax.
