Speaking on PPF calculator and PPF rate of interest; Manikaran Singhal, a SEBI registered tax and investment expert said, "If someone starts investing in PPF account at the age of 25 then he will have near 35 years time to invest in this money-making instrument. Using the PPF calculator and current PPF interest rate 2020 of 7.1 per cent, if a person starts Rs 3,000 monthly investment in a PPF account, then the maturity amount, after 35 years of continuous investment at 7.1 per cent average interest rate, will be Rs 54,47,486." Means, the money will grow to a massive amount of Rs 54.47 lakh. And what did the investor do? Just saved Rs 3,000 per month or Rs 100 per day (3000/30 = 100) in a dedicated and patient manner.
