PPF Calculator India – Maturity Value & Interest

Use this PPF (Public Provident Fund) calculator to estimate maturity value, future deposits and interest, including optional 5-year extension periods.

Estimate your PPF maturity value

Enter your assumptions, then select Calculate.

This annual-deposit projection assumes the contribution is available by 5 April so it qualifies for interest for each month of the modeled financial year. PPF interest is officially based on the qualifying monthly balance and credited annually; deposits made later can earn less interest.

Assumptions and limitations

India Post currently states PPF allows ₹500 to ₹1,50,000 of annual deposits, has a 15-year tenure, may be extended in 5-year blocks and currently carries a 7.1% rate. Rates can change, so the rate remains editable.
