PPF Calculator India guide

Use this PPF calculator for searches such as PPF calculator, PPF maturity calculator, Public Provident Fund calculator, PPF interest calculator, and 80C tax-saving calculator.

As a CA planning note, do not compare PPF only with FD rates. PPF interest is generally tax-free, while FD interest is taxable at slab rate. For high tax brackets, post-tax FD return can be materially lower.

PPF is suited for long-term, low-risk tax-saving goals. For retirement, compare PPF with EPF, NPS, SIP, and FD based on liquidity, return risk, tax treatment, and lock-in.

PPF Calculator FAQs

What is the maximum PPF deposit allowed?

PPF currently allows up to Rs 1.5 lakh deposit per financial year. This calculator caps the annual input at that planning limit.

Is PPF interest taxable?

PPF is generally treated as EEE, so eligible contribution, interest, and maturity are tax-favoured under current rules.

Can I extend PPF after 15 years?

Yes, PPF can generally be extended in blocks of 5 years, with or without further contribution depending on the option chosen.
