What is the PPF Calculator?

A PPF calculator shows what your Public Provident Fund account will be worth at maturity. Enter how much you deposit every financial year — anywhere from ₹500 to ₹1,50,000 — and it shows the maturity value after 15 years, the total you deposited and the interest earned, along with the balance at the end of every year.

PPF interest is compounded yearly, and a deposit made by 5 April earns interest for the whole year, so the calculator assumes that. It uses the current rate of 7.1% for October–December 2026, which the government reviews every quarter; change it to see other scenarios, or extend the account in blocks of five years. Deposits qualify for Section 80C under the old regime, and the interest and maturity amount are tax-free.

How to use it

  1. Enter your yearly deposit, between ₹500 and ₹1,50,000.
  2. Keep the current 7.1% rate or enter another one.
  3. Choose 15 years, or an extended duration in blocks of five years.
  4. Read the maturity value and the year-by-year balances.

Frequently asked questions

What is the current PPF interest rate?
7.1% a year for October–December 2026, unchanged for several quarters. The Ministry of Finance announces the rate every quarter, so check the latest figure before planning.
How much will ₹1.5 lakh a year in PPF grow to?
Depositing the maximum ₹1,50,000 by 5 April every year for 15 years at 7.1% gives about ₹40.68 lakh at maturity: ₹22.5 lakh of deposits and about ₹18.18 lakh of tax-free interest.
Why does the deposit date matter?
PPF interest is calculated on the lowest balance between the 5th and the last day of each month. A deposit made after 5 April misses that month’s interest, so depositing early in the financial year earns noticeably more over 15 years.
Can I extend my PPF account after 15 years?
Yes, in blocks of five years, with or without further deposits. The balance keeps earning interest during the extension.
