Understanding EPF

Employee Provident Fund (EPF) is a retirement benefit scheme that helps employees save a portion of their salary every month. Both the employee and employer contribute to the EPF account, and the accumulated amount earns interest.

Key Features:

  • Mandatory 12% contribution from both employee and employer
  • Tax-free interest earnings
  • Compound interest calculated monthly
  • Partial withdrawal allowed for specific purposes
  • Complete withdrawal possible after retirement

EPF Benefits:

  • Secure retirement savings
  • Tax benefits under Section 80C
  • Employer matching contribution
  • Insurance coverage under EDLI
  • Option for pension under EPS

Example Calculation:

Monthly basic salary of ₹30,000 with 12% contribution for 30 years:

  • Monthly Contribution: ₹7,200 (Employee + Employer)
  • Total Contribution: ₹25,92,000
  • Interest Earned: ₹76,08,000
  • Maturity Amount: ₹1,02,00,000

Important Note:

EPF interest rates are subject to change annually as declared by the EPFO. The calculator uses the current rate of 8.15% for illustration purposes.
