EPF Calculator
Estimate your Employee Provident Fund corpus at retirement, including employer contribution, VPF, salary growth, and interest compounding at the latest 8.25% rate.
This EPF calculator helps you project the retirement corpus you can build through India's Employee Provident Fund, factoring in your monthly basic salary, annual increments, employer contribution (3.67% to EPF, 8.33% to EPS), and the prevailing interest rate of 8.25% for FY 2025-26. You can also model Voluntary Provident Fund (VPF) contributions to see how additional savings accelerate your corpus.
The calculator flags the Rs 2.5 lakh annual contribution threshold above which EPF interest becomes taxable, so you can make informed decisions about how much to contribute through VPF versus other instruments like PPF, ELSS, or NPS.
