HDFC PPF Calculator
Project your tax-free PPF corpus at the current government notified rate
About the HDFC PPF Calculator
HDFC Bank offers PPF accounts at designated branches and increasingly through its digital channels, making annual contributions convenient. Since the PPF rate is set nationally by the government every quarter, the rate at HDFC Bank matches every other PPF provider. Use this HDFC PPF calculator to preview your tax free corpus at maturity.
What is a PPF Calculator?
A PPF calculator estimates the maturity corpus of a Public Provident Fund account from your yearly contribution and tenure. PPF currently earns a government notified rate of about 7.1% per year, revised quarterly, and the account matures after 15 years with fully tax free interest. Because contributions compound annually over a long period, the maturity figure grows surprisingly large, which the calculator shows instantly.
How Does the HDFC PPF Calculator Work?
PPF interest compounds annually on contributions made during the year, so the calculator applies the future value formula for yearly deposits:
M = Y x [(1 + r)^n – 1] / r x (1 + r)
- M is the maturity value.
- Y is your yearly contribution, capped at Rs. 1.5 lakh.
- r is the annual PPF rate.
- n is the number of years.
Example
Depositing Rs. 1,00,000 every year for 15 years at the current 7.1% rate builds a maturity corpus of about Rs. 27,12,139, of which Rs. 15,00,000 is your own contribution and the rest is tax free interest. The same account extended in 5 year blocks keeps compounding further.
