Official reference: EPFO services and guidance. Check the latest rate notification and your passbook; this projection is not an EPFO account balance.
Historical Contribution Model
The displayed contribution split is a product assumption, not confirmation of your employer's remittance or EPS allocation. Compare it with your EPFO passbook before relying on the projection.
EPF vs NPS vs PPF
Compare contribution rules, liquidity, tax treatment and investment risk separately. EPF and PPF rates are notified for specific periods; NPS returns are market-linked. A fixed-rate calculator cannot establish which scheme is best for you.
Compounding Assumptions
The projection assumes regular contributions and an unchanged interest rate across the chosen period. Actual balances depend on deposit timing, declared annual rates, withdrawals and contribution changes.
EPF and Tax Planning
Eligible employee EPF contributions can fall within the shared ₹1.5L Section 80C limit under the old regime. This benefit is not automatic in every circumstance and is not included as a tax calculation in this corpus model.

Frequently asked questions
Which contribution assumptions does this calculator use?
It models employee contributions at 12% of entered basic salary and employer EPF at 3.67% of basic capped at ₹15,000. This simplified historical split is not a full EPF/EPS payroll calculation. Membership, wage ceilings and pension eligibility can change the actual split; check your payslip and EPFO guidance.
Is the default EPF interest rate current?
No current rate is asserted here. The calculator retains an 8.25% historical modeled rate, associated with FY2023-24 in the product. Verify the declared rate for your financial year with EPFO and update the input; a constant-rate projection is not a promised return.
Can I withdraw my EPF before retirement?
EPFO provides partial and full withdrawal services subject to scheme conditions. Eligibility and tax treatment depend on the claim reason, service history and applicable rules. Check current EPFO guidance rather than assuming one waiting period applies to every claim.
Is EPF interest taxable?
EPF tax treatment depends on contribution levels, service history and withdrawal circumstances. Eligible employee contributions may qualify under the shared Section 80C limit in the old tax regime, but this calculator does not determine deduction eligibility or taxable interest.
What is EPFO and how is interest credited?
The Employees' Provident Fund Organisation administers provident fund and pension services. Its official guidance describes interest on monthly running balances at the rate declared for each year. This calculator uses a simplified annual-contribution projection instead.
