A PPF Calculator is an online tool that helps you estimate how much you’ll earn by investing in the Public Provident Fund, a government-backed savings scheme in India. Introduced in 1968 to encourage long-term savings, PPF is a tax-saving investment with a lock-in period of 15 years and guaranteed returns.

By entering your yearly contribution, the calculator displays your total investment, accumulated interest, and maturity amount. This makes it ideal for salaried individuals, self-employed professionals, and anyone planning long-term financial goals such as retirement or education.

Use Ventura’s free PPF Calculator to estimate the interest and maturity value of your Public Provident Fund (PPF) investment. Simply enter your annual contribution and investment duration to plan your long-term savings more effectively.

How to use the PPF calculator?

Using the PPF calculator is quick and simple:

2. Select the number of years (minimum 15; extendable in blocks of 5).
3. Input the applicable interest rate (updated quarterly by the government).

Based on these inputs, you will be able to view:

PPF calculator formula

PPF interest is compounded annually using the formula:

A = P × (1 + r)ⁿ

Where:

• A = Maturity amount
• P = Annual investment
• r = Interest rate (in decimal)
• n = Number of years

Since contributions can vary year to year, the calculator considers each annual deposit and applies compounding accordingly.

Example:

If you invest ₹1.5 lakh yearly for 15 years at an average interest rate of 7.1%, the maturity amount will be around ₹40.7 lakhs.
