Most wrong answers here are setup errors, not math errors. Confirm annual investment, interest rate (% per year) and number of years — units, periods and definitions — before you touch PPF Calculator, and keep the output's unit attached when you use it.

Test the setup before trusting the output: rerun the example with a doubled annual investment and see whether the result behaves as the formula implies. Direction first, precision second.

Inputs to verify

Verify annual investment before calculation; if this value uses a different unit, period or definition, convert or restate it first.
Verify interest rate (% per year) before calculation; if this value uses a different unit, period or definition, convert or restate it first.
Verify number of years before calculation; if this value uses a different unit, period or definition, convert or restate it first.
