PF Calculator
Professional statutory calculator for Provident Fund contributions (2026 Rules).
How Provident Fund Works
The Employee Provident Fund (EPF) is a mandatory savings scheme in India for salaried employees. Both the employee and the employer contribute 12% of the employee's basic salary + dearness allowance every month. This ensures a secure retirement corpus and provides financial stability after service.

Calculation Formula
Employee Contribution
12% of (Basic Salary + DA). Deducted monthly from salary.
Employer EPS (Pension)
8.33% of Basic Salary (Statutory cap usually applies).
Employer EPF (Savings)
Total Employer (12%) minus the Pension Share (8.33%).
The ₹15,000 Cap Explained
Under the EPF scheme, if an employee's basic salary is above ₹15,000, the company has the option to cap the contribution at the ₹15,000 level. This means instead of 12% of ₹50,000, you only pay 12% of ₹15,000. Many organizations follow this "Statutory Capping" to manage payroll costs efficiently.
Note: As per 2026 regulations, voluntary contributions above the cap are permitted but require separate declaration.
Pro Tips & Statutory Notes
Max Tax Benefits
Ensure your employer contribution is NOT deducted from your Gross CTC to maximize take-home pay while maintaining PF growth.
Withdrawal Rules
Avoid withdrawing PF during job changes. Transferring the UAN ensures compounding interest continues over decades.
