How it works

PPF pays a rate the government sets every quarter: 7.1% a year for October to December 2026. The interest and the maturity amount are tax-free.

You can put in up to ₹1.5 lakh a year. The account runs 15 years and can be extended in blocks of 5. The calculator assumes the deposit goes in at the start of each year and the rate stays the same.

Formula: Each year: Balance = (Balance + Deposit) × (1 + r).
