How to Use a PPF Interest Calculator

Here are a few steps you must follow to use the PPF calculator:

  2. Choose the frequency of investment (monthly, quarterly, or annually)

  3. Enter the interest rate applicable on your PPF investments

     

Once you submit these details, the interest and maturity amount will be estimated by the calculator and displayed on the screen.

PPF Calculation for Different Investment Periods

Once the PPF tenor of 15-years has ended, you can extend the investment period by blocks of 5 years. The returns you earn will depend on the investment duration. 

 

Here is a preview of the maturity amount calculations for different investment periods. The following particulars have been considered for this example.
