🏦 How to Use the PPF Calculator Tool – FreeEdit.in
✅ Step 1: Enter Your Yearly Investment Amount
Start by entering the amount you plan to invest in your PPF account each year. You can invest anywhere from ₹500 to ₹1.5 lakh annually, as per the official PPF scheme rules. This forms the base for calculating your future returns and maturity value.
✅ Step 2: Set the Investment Duration (in Years)
Choose how many years you want to invest in your Public Provident Fund. The default tenure is 15 years, but you can extend it in blocks of 5 years after maturity. This step determines how long your money will grow with compound interest.
✅ Step 3: Enter the Current PPF Interest Rate (%)
Input the prevailing PPF interest rate (e.g., 7.1%) as announced by the Government of India. This rate is compounded annually and plays a crucial role in calculating your final maturity amount.
