How this is calculated

PPF compounds annually: each year's balance is (previous balance + this year's contribution) × (1+rate). The government sets/revises the rate quarterly — this calculator holds it fixed for the full tenure, which is a simplification.

Tax treatment

PPF is EEE (Exempt-Exempt-Exempt) — contributions, interest and maturity are all completely tax-free, one of the few investments in India with this status.

Questions
Is ₹1.5 lakh really the maximum PPF contribution?

Yes, that's the current maximum annual contribution limit — confirm the latest limit and rate on the official PPF scheme page, since both are set by the government and can change.

Is this a simplified version of the real calculator?

No — it's the exact same calculator, opened with these values already filled in. There's no separate, simplified math happening on this page; everything below adjusts once you open it.

All figures are illustrative projections based on the assumptions you select, not guaranteed returns. Validate tax and scheme rules before making financial decisions.
