💼 EPF Calculator
Estimate your Employees’ Provident Fund corpus at retirement. See how your 12% contribution and employer matching compounds over your career.
💡 Did You Know: Your employer technically matches your 12% deduction, but only 3.67% goes into your EPF corpus. The remaining 8.33% goes into your EPS (Employee Pension Scheme).

Decoding the 12% Math
The Split
- Employee Share: 12% of your Basic + DA is deducted from your salary and goes entirely into your EPF account.
- Employer Match: Your employer legally has to match that 12%. However, it gets split: 3.67% goes to your EPF account to compound, and the remaining 8.33% (capped usually at ₹1,250/mo) is diverted to EPS (Employee Pension Scheme) to pay for your post-retirement monthly pension.
Taxation
EPF falls under the powerful EEE (Exempt-Exempt-Exempt) tax regime. Your 12% contribution is tax-deductible under Section 80C. The interest earned is tax-free (up to ₹2.5L yearly contribution). Finally, the entire maturity corpus at age 58 is completely tax-free upon withdrawal.
Why Annual Increment matters?
Your basic salary doesn’t stay static. As you get promoted and receive appraisals, your 12% deduction mathematically increases as well. This calculator factors in a compounding salary increment to give you a highly realistic retirement projection.
