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
Why not contribute the full ₹1.5 lakh limit instead?

Some people split their ₹1.5 lakh tax-saving allocation across PPF and other instruments (like ELSS funds) rather than putting all of it into PPF — see the PPF vs FD or PPF vs Gold guides for how the full allocation compares.

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.
