What is EPF?
EPF stands for Employee Provident Fund. It is a retirement savings scheme where an employee and employer contribute regularly to build a long-term retirement corpus.
How This EPF Calculator Works
This calculator estimates your EPF maturity value using your monthly Basic Salary plus DA, employee contribution rate, employer EPF contribution rate, interest rate, current balance, salary growth, and investment period.
EPF Calculation Formula
Monthly employee contribution is calculated as a percentage of Basic Salary plus DA. Employer EPF contribution is also calculated based on the selected employer EPF rate. Interest is estimated monthly and compounded over the selected period.

Suppose your monthly Basic Salary plus DA is ₹50,000, your employee contribution is 12%, employer EPF contribution is 3.67%, and the interest rate is 8.25%. This calculator estimates how your EPF balance may grow over the selected number of years.
