Calculation Method

The calculator uses the following formula to calculate the PPF maturity value:

Maturity Value = P × [((1 + r/12)^(n×12) - 1) / (r/12)]

Where:

P = Monthly investment amount
r = Annual interest rate (7.1% or 0.071)
n = Investment period in years

This formula calculates the future value of a series of regular payments (monthly investments) with compound interest.

Worked Example

Let's calculate the maturity value for a PPF account with the following details:

Monthly investment: ₹1,000
Investment period: 15 years
Annual interest rate: 7.1%

Using the formula:

Maturity Value = 1000 × [((1 + 0.071/12)^(15×12) - 1) / (0.071/12)]

Calculating step by step:

Monthly interest rate = 0.071/12 ≈ 0.005917
Total number of months = 15 × 12 = 180
First part = (1 + 0.005917)^180 ≈ 12.54
Second part = (12.54 - 1) / 0.005917 ≈ 199.5
Final calculation = 1000 × 199.5 ≈ ₹199,500

The calculated maturity value for this example is approximately ₹199,500. This includes the principal amount plus the interest earned over the 15-year period.
