Project your Employees' Provident Fund (EPF) corpus at retirement from your basic salary, at the current 8.25% rate, with annual increments — and see its real value after inflation.
EPF accumulates monthly contributions (employee 12% + employer 3.67% of basic) compounded at the EPF rate, with optional annual salary growth:
Each annual increment raises the basic salary and therefore the contribution for subsequent years.
With a ₹50,000 monthly basic and no annual increment, the combined ₹7,835/month EPF contribution (12% + 3.67%) compounding at 8.25% for 28 years grows to about ₹1.03 crore. A 5% annual increment pushes the corpus substantially higher, since each raise lifts every future contribution.
