Project your PPF balance at maturity
The Public Provident Fund is a long-term savings scheme with tax benefits and compound interest over a fifteen-year term. This calculator estimates the PPF maturity value from your annual contribution, the interest rate and the number of years, so you can see how the fund grows.
Why the long term is the whole point
PPF rewards patience: interest compounds annually over a fifteen-year lock-in, so contributions made early grow enormously by maturity while the compounding accelerates in the later years. Because the interest is tax-free and the term is long, the final corpus is far larger than the contributions, which is what makes PPF a cornerstone of long-term, low-risk saving. Seeing the projected value shows why starting early and contributing consistently matters so much.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does PPF grow?
Contributions earn interest that compounds annually over a fifteen-year term, so early contributions grow enormously and the compounding accelerates over time.
Why is the maturity value so much more than my contributions?
Because tax-free interest compounds over a long term, so the accumulated interest eventually dwarfs the contributions, especially in the later years.
What is the PPF term?
Fifteen years, with options to extend. The long lock-in is what allows the compounding to build a large corpus.
Is PPF interest taxable?
PPF is a tax-favoured scheme; the calculator estimates growth at the rate you enter. Confirm the current rate and rules, which are set periodically.
Is this financial advice?
No. It is an estimate. Confirm the current PPF rate and rules.
