PPF Calculator (Public Provident Fund) FAQs

Is PPF interest taxable?
No. PPF is one of the few EEE products: the money you invest can qualify for a deduction under the old tax regime, the interest is tax-free every year, and the maturity amount is tax-free too.
Why does depositing before the 5th matter?
PPF interest is calculated each month on the lowest balance between the 5th and the last day. If your money is in by the 5th, that month counts in full. Putting the whole year's amount in by 5 April gives you a full year of interest on it.
What can I do after 15 years?
You can close the account and take everything out, extend it for 5 more years with fresh deposits, or extend it without deposits and keep earning interest on the balance.
Can the PPF rate change?
Yes. The government reviews the rate every quarter. In the October to December 2026 quarter it stayed at 7.1%. This calculator assumes the rate you enter stays the same, so real results can differ a little.
