EPF Calculator

Provident fund corpus from monthly contributions and years of service.

Overview

Projects accumulated Employee Provident Fund savings from mandatory employee and employer monthly salary deductions with annual EPFO interest.

Formula & Calculation Method

Total EPF = Monthly Contributions (Employee 12% + Employer 3.67%) + Annual Compounded Interest (8.25%)

Employee contributes 12% of Basic + DA; Employer matches with 3.67% to EPF and 8.33% to EPS pension.

Worked Example: ₹50,000 Basic Salary with 8.25% Interest for 20 Years

Inputs: Basic Pay = ₹50,000 | EPF Interest = 8.25% p.a. | Annual Salary Hike = 5% | Tenure = 20 Years

  • Employee contribution = 12% of ₹50,000 = ₹6,000/month
  • Employer EPF contribution = 3.67% of ₹50,000 = ₹1,835/month
  • Total monthly deposit = ₹7,835 compounded annually at 8.25% with 5% annual wage increases

Summary: Total Contribution = ₹31.1 Lakhs | Total Interest = ₹48.9 Lakhs | Final EPF Corpus = ₹80.0 Lakhs
