What is EPF Calculator?

An EPF (Employee Provident Fund) calculator estimates your total PF corpus at retirement. It considers both employee and employer contributions along with annual compounding.

How It Works

The calculator takes your basic salary and current PF balance, applies monthly contributions from both employee and employer, and compounds the balance annually at the EPF interest rate.

Formula & Calculation Method

EPF Corpus = Sum of (Employee contribution + Employer EPF contribution) with annual compounding

Employee: 12% of basic. Employer: 3.67% to EPF (rest 8.33% to EPS). Interest on total EPF balance is calculated annually.
