PPF Calculator Formula

The maturity amount for a Public Provident Fund (PPF) is calculated using the compound interest formula with yearly contributions:

A = P × [ ((1 + r)t - 1) / r ] × (1 + r)
  • A = Maturity Amount (Expected Corpus)
  • P = Yearly Investment Amount
  • r = Annual Interest Rate (in decimal, e.g., 7.1% = 0.071)
  • t = Time period in years

The estimated returns (interest earned) are calculated as:

Returns = A - (P × t)

Example

Example:

  • Yearly Investment (P): ₹1,50,000
  • Interest Rate (r): 7.1% per annum
  • Time Period (t): 15 years
Maturity Amount = 1,50,000 × [ ((1 + 0.071)15 - 1) / 0.071 ] × (1 + 0.071) ≈ ₹4,068,209

Maturity Amount: ₹4,068,209

Total Invested: ₹1,50,000 × 15 = ₹22,50,000

Estimated Returns (Interest Earned): ₹1,818,209

💡 If you invest ₹1,50,000 every year for 15 years in a PPF account at 7.1% annual interest, your investment will grow to ₹4,068,209, with an estimated interest of ₹1,818,209.
