How to use PPF Calculator Excel Sheet?
Let us understand how you can use the PPF calculator excel sheet attached above. Below are the steps:
- Download the PPF Excel Calculator from top of this article
- Provide existing Balance in case you already have a PPF account or else keep it as 0. Let’s assume we have balance of Rs. 50,000 currently:
- Next we can provide the deposits we have made in the months displayed in column B. Let’s assume we make Rs. 10,000 deposit on 6th May and 4th July respectively. So we adjust column D (Before 5th) accordingly as shown below:
- As seen above, for deposit on 6th May which is After 5th, we get interest from June month onwards, and for deposit on 4th July that is before 5th day, we get interest from July month onwards.
- The interest is calculated on balance of PPF on or before 5th day of month which we we will see below in interest formula section.
So it is important that when you deposit in PPF, you deposit on or before 5th day of month to get more interest amount when you already have the funds to deposit.

What is the formula to calculate PPF Interest?
Let us now understand formula to calculate PPF interest which is very simple:
Monthly Interest = Monthly Interest Rate * Balance on or before 5th day of month / 100
– PPF monthly interest Formula
Let’s apply this formula for above screenshot of deposits made:
For April month, Balance = Rs. 50,000, monthly interest rate = 7.1% / 12 = 0.5916%
So monthly interest = 0.5916% * Rs. 50,000 / 100 = Rs. 295.83
Below is the table showing balance on or before 5th day of month and their monthly interest calculations accordingly:
| Months | Balance on 5th day | Monthly Interest Rate | Monthly Interest |
|---|---|---|---|
| April | Rs. 50,000 | 0.5916% | Rs. 295.83 |
| May | Rs. 50,000 | 0.5916% | Rs. 295.83 |
| June | Rs. 60,000 | 0.5916% | Rs. 355 |
| July | Rs. 70,000 | 0.5916% | Rs. 414.16 |
| August | Rs. 50,000 | 0.5916% | Rs. 414.16 |
Note: As explained in video, compounding in PPF happens on annual basis which means, interest earned throughout the year in PPF up to march will be added to your balance, on which you will earn more interest in upcoming years.
