PPF Interest Calculation Formula

F = P × [((1 + i)^n - 1) / i]

Variables Explained:

F Total accumulated PPF corpus upon maturity
P Annual deposit amount (Minimum ₹500, Maximum ₹1,50,000 per financial year)
i Current prevailing annual PPF interest rate (e.g., 7.1% p.a.)
n PPF tenure in years (Mandatory minimum 15 years, extendable in 5-year blocks)
