EPF Calculation: For workers in the private sector, the Employed Provident Fund (EPF) is a retirement benefit program. The EPF account receives contributions from both the employer and the employee. Twelve to twelve percent (+DA) of the base wage is contributed. The government sets the interest rates for EPF each year. For the fiscal year 2022–2023, the EPF's interest rate is 8.15% annually. The EPF account is managed by the Employees' Provident Fund Organization (EPFO). EPF is a kind of account where a sizable corpus is progressively built up till retirement.

30 years old, earning $10,000 base pay

Assume your age is 30 and your base income (plus DA) is Rs 10,000. The legal retirement age is 58. You have 28 years to contribute in this manner. The EPF calculator states that when PF is computed till retirement, a fund of around 67 lakhs would be established based on this. Every year, a wage increase of 10% has been added to this.

EPF Calculation: Recognize as follows

DA + Basic Salary = $10,000

Currently 30 years old

Age of retirement is 58 years.

Monthly Contribution from Employees = 12%

Monthly Employer Contribution = 3.67%

EPF interest rate is 8.15% annually.

10% annual salary growth

Maturity Fund = 67.75 lakhs when you're 58 years old. (The employer contributes Rs. 6.54 lakhs, while the employee contributes Rs. 21.40 lakhs. As a result, the total donation is 27.95 lakhs rupees.)

(Note: The yearly interest rate for the contribution year as a whole is 8.15%)

Recognize the specifics of EPF contribution

The EPF account receives a 12 percent deposit of the employee's base pay and Dearness Allowance (DA). However, the employer's 12 percent is deposited in two portions. 8.33 percent of the employer's 12 percent contribution is put into the employee pension account, while 3.67 percent is put into the EPF account. Employees whose base pay is less than Rs. 15,000 are required to enroll in this program.

How is interest figured out?

The monthly running balance, or the amount of money placed into the PF account each month, is used to calculate PF interest. However, it is deposited at the year's conclusion. In accordance with EPFO regulations, interest for a full year is subtracted from any sum that was taken from the balance as of the final day of the current financial year. The initial and closing balances of the account are always taken by EPFO. The monthly running balance is put together, and the interest rate is multiplied by 1200 to arrive at this figure.
