PPF Calculation Formula

The PPF calculator uses compound interest with annual contributions:

A = P × (1 + r)^t + P × ((1 + r)^(t-1) + (1 + r)^(t-2) + ... + (1 + r) + 1)

Where:

  • A = Maturity Amount
  • P = Yearly Investment
  • r = Interest Rate (in decimal)
  • t = Investment Duration (in years)
