EPF Calculator

The Employee Provident Fund (EPF) is an approach for individuals who work in the organized or private sector to save for retirement. Contributions are put into an EPFO-managed provident fund account that is linked to a Universal Account Number (UAN).

The employee and the employer both invest money into this account. The balance earns interest over time, which helps build a retirement fund.

You can use an EPF calculator to calculate out how much your provident fund will accumulate by the time you retire. The calculations are based on your salary, contribution rates, current balance, and the EPF interest rate that applies.

It saves you time when compared to doing the calculations by yourself. You also get an idea on how much you have invested and what is the rate of interest you have earned. Use the calculator to find the expected maturity value so you can better plan for things like retirement, emergency funds, or long-term investments.

What is an EPF calculator?

EPF calculator is an online tool you can use to calculate how much money you will have in your EPF account after a few years. The calculation is easy and you just need to enter your basic salary plus DA, employee contribution, current EPF balance, retirement age, and EPF interest rate.

The calculator will show you the employer's total contribution (EPF + EPS), total interest earned, and estimated maturity amount as soon as you enter this information.

How can the EPF calculator help you?

The EPF calculator can show you 

(a) how much you and your employer are putting in, 

(b) how interest builds up over time, and 

(c) what your expected balance could be when you retire. 

This way, you can plan for retirement based on numbers instead of guesses.

Formula (made easier)

Monthly employee EPF contribution = 12% of (Basic + DA).

12% of (Basic + DA) is the monthly employer contribution. This is usually split into:

•  EPS (8.33%) 

• EPF (3.67%).

Interest is added to your account at the end of the financial year, but it is calculated every month.

Example (a quick example)

If Basic + DA = ₹25,000 per month, 

the employer's total contribution is =₹3,000 

which is divided into:

EPS 8.33% = ₹2,082.50 

EPF 3.67% = ₹917.50.

Your own (employee) contribution of 12% would be ₹3,000 per month, and the total EPF corpus would grow even more with interest added each month (credited once a year).
