Fintra's PF Calculator is an online investment return assessment tool that has been created to assist you to determine the total provident fund return once you reach the retirement age. Current age, retirement age, current EPF balance, monthly basic pay, monthly dearness allowance, monthly EPF contribution in percentage, and expected salary hike in percentage are the main factors used while calculating the total returns you will get at the time of retirement.
Speaking about Taxation, when the employer contributes towards your PF, it won't be taxed from the employee. According to the Indian Income Tax Act under section 80 C, one can avail tax exemption for Provident Fund contribution up to 1 Lakh. For online calculation, our Provident Fund Calculator will be an essential tool to determine the Total Provident Fund amount at the time of your retirement.
PF Balance is calculated by adding the contribution of the employer and employee. The employer contributes 12% of the salary and employee contribution is 3.67%. Depending on the basic pay of the employee, it's decided whether the 12% contribution of the employer should be calculated on the basic pay or gross salary. For example, if the basic pay is less than Rs.6,500, then you have to calculate it on gross salary, and if the basic pay is higher than Rs.6,500, then calculate it on basic pay.
