About the EPF calculator

Both you and your employer contribute 12% of your basic salary and DA every month. Your full share goes to EPF. Of your employer's share, 8.33% of wages (on wages up to ₹15,000 a month) goes to the Employees' Pension Scheme and the rest to your EPF.

Interest accrues on the monthly balance and is credited once a year. This calculator estimates your EPF balance at 58; the pension (EPS) is not included.

How to use it

  1. Move the sliders, or type a value into each box.
  2. Watch the results and chart update as you go.
  3. Try different assumptions to see what changes the outcome most, then talk to us about a plan.

The formula

Each month: EPF += your share + (12% of pay − EPS share); interest = Σ monthly balance × r ÷ 12, credited yearly

  • EPS share = 8.33% × min(pay, ₹15,000)
  • r: EPF interest rate declared by EPFO

Example

Starting at age 30 on a basic salary of ₹30,000 a month, rising 5% a year, at 8.25%, your EPF could be worth about ₹1,31,17,280 at 58.

Assumes the standard 12% contributions, the ₹15,000 EPS wage ceiling and an 8.25% interest rate. EPFO declares the rate every year, and the rules may change.
