Understand the complete calculation here

PF is a government scheme in which 12 percent of your basic salary is deducted every month and the same amount is deposited by the company. In such a situation, if an employee works on a monthly salary of Rs 50,000, then over time he can raise a fund of more than Rs 5 crore with the benefit of interest. At present, interest on PF is available at the rate of 8.25 percent per annum.

The interest received on money deposited in PF account increases on the basis of compounding. In simple interest, you get interest only on your deposited amount, but in PF, you get interest on both last year’s interest and main balance. Due to this, the amount deposited in it increases more rapidly. In such a situation, with compounding interest, your amount on a salary of Rs 50,000 is increasing at the rate of 6 percent every year.

Now if your salary is Rs 50 thousand every month, then at the rate of 12 percent of the salary, a total of Rs 24 thousand will be deposited in your PF and if you start investing at the age of 22, then after 60 years a total of Rs 1,36,38,805 will be deposited in your account. At the same time, if you add interest at the rate of 8.25 percent, then it will be Rs. 4,20,45,241. If you add these two, after 60 years you will have a total of Rs 5,56,84,046. This means that after retirement you will have more than Rs 5.5 crore.
