The Public Provident Fund (PPF) remains a widely used long-term savings option for individuals seeking capital protection, predictable returns and tax efficiency. Backed by the Government of India.

With the help of an online PPF calculator, investors can estimate how regular annual contributions may grow over time, offering clarity on potential maturity values and interest accumulation.

How ₹1.5 Lakh a Year Can Become ₹1.54 Crore

  • Annual investment: ₹1,50,000
  • Interest rate: 7.1% per annum (compounded annually)
  • Investment period: 30 years
  • Total amount invested: ₹45,00,000
  • Total interest earned: ₹1,09,50,911
