What Is the HDFC PPF Calculator Formula?

A PPF calculator uses the following mathematical formula to determine the maturity value at the end of tenure:

M = P [({(1+i) ^n}-1)/i]

In which,

  • M = Maturity value
  • P = Annual Investment 
  • i = Rate of interest
  • n = Investment tenure (in years)

How to calculate expected returns from HDFC PPF? 

You can calculate the expected returns from HDFC PPF by using the PPF calculator formula, i.e. M = P [({(1+i) ^n}-1)/i].

Now, suppose you invest Rs 75,000 per annum in HDFC PPF for 15 years at the current interest rate of 7.1%. 

The maturity amount would be as follows:

M = 75,000[({(1+7.1) ^15}-1)/7.1] 

Thus, the maturity value of your HDFC PPF is Rs 20,34,105

Example of HDFC PPF Calculation

You can invest a maximum of up to 1.5 lakh per financial year in a post office PPF account. If you invest Rs 1 lakh a year at a 7.1% interest rate, the contribution during that period will be Rs 15,00,000.

The scheme provides compound interest, which will be Rs 12,12,139 in 15 years, which is the maximum duration one can invest. After the completion of the PPF scheme, the maturity amount will stand at Rs 27,12,139.

Suppose you extend the scheme for another 5 years, your investment will rise to Rs 20,00,000. The interest received will be Rs 24,38,859, and the maturity value will be Rs 44,38,859.
