📐 PPF Interest Calculation Formula

PPF Maturity Formula (Yearly Compounding):

F = P × [((1+i)^n - 1) / i]
F = Maturity AmountP = Annual Depositi = Interest Rate / 100n = Number of Years

📖 Example Calculation

Deposit: ₹1,00,000/year | Rate: 7.1% p.a. | Tenure: 15 years

1 i = 7.1/100 = 0.071, n = 15
2 F = 1,00,000 × [((1.071)^15 - 1) / 0.071]
3 F = 1,00,000 × [(2.797 - 1) / 0.071]
4 F ≈ ₹27,12,139 | Invested: ₹15L | Interest: ₹12.12L
