What is the EPF Calculator?

VNN Wealth’s EPF calculator shows the total PF maturity amount at the time of your retirement. The tool calculates the wealth accumulated over the years in your PF account.

Employee Provident Fund is a scheme in which an employee contributes 12% of their basic salary + dearness allowance every month. The employer also contributes 12% split into three parts:

  • 3.67% of the basic salary will go towards the EPF contribution.
  • 8.33% of the basic salary of up to INR 15,000 will be invested in EPS.
  • And, 8.33% of your remaining salary will go back to your EPF.

The EPF calculator is a faster way to calculate the amount your PF contributions will accumulate until you retire.

How Does EPF Calculator Work?

The EPF calculator accepts simple inputs such as your basic monthly salary, current age, age of retirement, and rate of interest.

Please note that For FY 23-24, the EPFO has declared an 8.25% interest rate. The interest rate may change in the following financial years.

Once you input all the variables, the EPF calculator will produce the maturity amount you are eligible for along with your total contributions and interest earned.

The formula used by the EPF calculator takes into account the employee’s and employer’s contribution rules.

For example, if your basic salary is INR. 50,000:

Employee’s 12% EPF contribution: 6000
Employer’s 3.67% contribution towards EPF: 1835
Employer’s 8.33% of 15,000 threshold contribution towards EPS: 1250
Employer’s contribution of 8.33% of the remaining salary (35,000): 2915

Therefore, the total EPF contribution becomes INR. 10,750/month at 8.25%.
