What are PPF and EPF?
The Public Provident Fund (PPF) and Employee Provident Fund (EPF) are popular long-term savings schemes in India, offering compounded returns and tax benefits to subscribers.
Understanding the Compound Interest Formula
For recurring annual contributions, the future value is calculated as:
A = P × [(1 + r)^n – 1] / rP: Yearly contribution
r: Annual interest rate (decimal)
n: Investment period in years
