EPF Calculator
Estimate future EPF savings from a prepared monthly contribution wage, an assumed annual return and whole years of contributions. The model uses 12% employee and employer contributions and deducts an EPS allocation from the employer share before projecting the EPF corpus.
Project an EPF corpus using a prepared monthly contribution wage, an assumed annual return and a whole number of years. The employee contribution and employer EPF share enter the corpus; the employer EPS allocation is separate.
Enter the monthly wage actually used for EPF contributions after applying current wage definitions, the relevant ceiling or a permitted higher-wage arrangement. The model assumes EPS eligibility and a 12% rate for both parties under rules effective 17 September 2026. It does not determine eligibility or reconstruct historical periods; actual EPFO interest crediting differs from this monthly-compounded illustration.
Estimate only. Not financial, investment, tax, retirement, pension, crypto, or legal advice. Returns, rates, fees, taxes, inflation, market prices, product rules, and government schemes can change. Verify with official sources or a qualified professional before relying on results. Scheme figures (EPF, PPF, NPS, FD, RD, pension, retirement) use simplified assumptions about contributions, compounding, and rates; real scheme rules and declared rates vary by provider and year.

Technical notes
Wage components are not necessarily limited to the payslip basic-pay line. Current Labour Code wage rules and any applicable add-back of excluded allowances must be considered when determining the contribution base. This form accepts that prepared base and does not calculate it from a salary breakup.
Official September 2026 wage-ceiling and EPS contribution update
Estimate future EPF savings from a prepared monthly contribution wage, an assumed annual return and whole years of contributions. The model uses 12% employee and employer contributions and deducts an EPS allocation from the employer share before projecting the EPF corpus.
Figures assume the rate and amounts you enter stay fixed and exclude fees, taxes and charges unless a field asks for them.
All arithmetic runs in your browser using double-precision floating point, so extreme inputs may show tiny rounding differences.
Worked example
With a prepared monthly contribution wage of ₹5,000, this model allocates ₹600 employee EPF, ₹417 employer EPS and ₹183 employer EPF. The ₹783 monthly EPF total projects to about ₹4,73,087 over 20 years at an assumed 8.15% with beginning-of-month contributions and monthly compounding.
FAQ
How is the EPF balance estimated?
This current-period illustration assumes EPS eligibility, 12% employee/employer rates and the ₹25,000 EPS wage ceiling effective 17 September 2026. Monthly contributions are rounded to whole rupees before projecting an EPF corpus with constant monthly compounding.
Does the EPF Calculator send my data to a server?
No. The EPF Calculator runs entirely in your browser with JavaScript; the values you enter never leave your device and nothing is uploaded or saved.
Why is the pension (EPS) share kept separate?
Part of the employer contribution goes to a wage-capped pension scheme rather than your provident-fund corpus, so it is reported on its own.
Why might my actual EPF be higher?
Actual balances can be higher or lower because wages, contributions, eligibility and declared interest can change. This projection keeps supplied assumptions fixed and simplifies EPFO interest crediting.
