How it works

You put 12% of basic pay into EPF and your employer matches it, but 8.33% of up to ₹15,000 of basic goes to the pension scheme (EPS), not EPF.

The calculator raises basic pay once a year and compounds monthly at the rate you choose. EPFO declared 8.25% for 2025-26.

Formula: Monthly EPF = 12% of basic + (12% of basic − 8.33% of min(basic, ₹15,000)); each month: Balance = (Balance + Monthly EPF) × (1 + r ÷ 12).
