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
Can I change my PPF contribution amount each year?

Yes — PPF only requires a minimum annual contribution (currently ₹500) and lets you vary the amount up to the maximum each year, so you're not locked into a fixed figure like this one.

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.
