1. What is the EPF Calculator With Existing Corpus?

The EPF (Employees' Provident Fund) Calculator With Existing Corpus helps you estimate the future value of your EPF savings by considering both your existing balance and regular monthly contributions, along with compound interest.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the EPF future value formula:

\[ FV = Existing\_corpus \times (1 + r)^t + Monthly\_contrib \times 12 \times \frac{(1 + r)^t - 1}{r} \]

Where:

\( Existing\_corpus \) — Current EPF balance (INR)
\( r \) — Annual interest rate (in decimal)
\( t \) — Time period in years
\( Monthly\_contrib \) — Monthly contribution amount (INR)

Explanation: The first part calculates compound interest on existing corpus, while the second part calculates future value of regular contributions.

3. Importance of EPF Calculation

Details: Accurate EPF projection helps in retirement planning, understanding corpus growth, and making informed decisions about voluntary contributions.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter existing EPF balance, current EPF interest rate, investment period in years, and your monthly EPF contribution (employee + employer share).
