What is EPF?

EPF or employees provident fund is a popular saving scheme managed by the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation, it is a statutory body of the Government of India established to manage the Employees' Provident Fund (EPF), Employees' Pension Scheme (EPS), and Employees' Deposit Linked Insurance (EDLI) scheme. Both the employee and employer contribute 12% of their Basic Salary and Dearness Allowance. The Centre has approved an 8.25% interest rate for this year on Employees' Provident Fund (EPF) deposits.

How does EPF work?

Every month, your contribution, along with your employer’s, is deposited into your EPF account. Interest is calculated monthly but credited annually. Interest is calculated monthly but credited annually. Over time, these contributions and accumulated interest grow into a significant retirement fund.

Formula to Calculate EPF Maturity Amount

EPF Maturity = {Monthly Contribution*(1+r)^n-1}/r

  • Monthly Contribution = Employee + Employer EPF contributions
  • r = Monthly interest rate (Annual EPF rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100)
  • n = Number of months of contribution

Example – EPF Maturity Calculation

  • Basic Salary + DA: ₹25,000/month
  • Employee Contribution: 12%
  • Employer EPF Contribution: 12%
  • Total Monthly EPF Contribution: ₹3,917
  • EPF Interest Rate: 8.25% per annum (0.00679 monthly)
  • Tenure: 20 years (240 months)
  • Total corpus after [x]

Benefits of EPF

  • Retirement Planning: Know exactly how much you’ll have when you retire.
  • Contribution Optimisation: Increase voluntary contributions (contribution beyond the EPF contribution) to grow your corpus.
  • Tax-Free Returns: EPF maturity and interest are tax-exempt if withdrawn after 5 years.
