About this tool

The Public Provident Fund (PPF) is a long-term, government-backed Indian savings scheme with a 15-year lock-in that can be extended in blocks, and it enjoys triple tax exemption (EEE) — contributions, interest and maturity are all tax-free. This calculator projects the maturity corpus from your annual investments, respecting the statutory annual limit and modelling 15 to 30-year horizons.

Because PPF combines a guaranteed government rate with EEE status and Section 80C deductions on contributions, its effective return is stronger than the headline rate suggests, and the long compounding period is where the corpus really builds. Seeing the year-by-year growth makes the case for starting early and contributing consistently.

It runs in your browser, so your figures stay private. The PPF interest rate is set by the government and can change, so treat the projection as an estimate based on the rate you enter.

Frequently asked questions

What does EEE (triple tax exemption) mean for PPF?
Contributions are deductible (under Section 80C), the interest earned is tax-free, and the maturity amount is tax-free — exempt at all three stages, which boosts the effective return.
How long is the PPF lock-in?
The base term is 15 years, after which it can be extended in blocks of five years. The calculator can model horizons up to 30 years.
Is there a limit on annual PPF investment?
Yes, there is a statutory annual maximum. The calculator applies the limit when projecting your corpus.
Is the PPF rate fixed?
The rate is set by the government and can be revised, so the projection is an estimate based on the rate you enter. Your figures stay in your browser.
