EPF Retirement Corpus Calculation: In Employees' Provident Fund (EPF) scheme, the employee and the employer make a monthly contribution to the employee's EPF account. The employee can withdraw the amount at the retirement age of 58 years of age or under certain conditions. The retirement corpus accumulated thus is tax-free.
EPF Retirement Corpus Calculator: The Employees' Provident Fund (EPF) scheme is a retirement scheme for private sector employees, where they make monthly contributions to their EPF account to build a retirement corpus. The employer too makes an equal contribution. The invested amount, interest, and the maturity amount are tax-free. The scheme provides 8.25 per cent compound interest. If an employee contributes continuously for a few decades, even their small monthly contribution can help them gather a large corpus.

How EPF works
Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) runs the EPF scheme. In the scheme, the employee with at least Rs 15,000 monthly basic salary can start an EPF account, where they need to make a minimum contribution of Rs 1,800. The maximum EPF contribution is 12 per cent of the EPF account holder's basic salary and dearness allowance (DA).
How much will employer contribute?
The employer matches the employee's amount, but its entire contribution doesn't go into EPF. Of 12 per cent of the employer's total contribution, 3.67 per cent goes to the employee's EPF account; the rest, 8.33 per cent goes to employee's pension account (EPS).
When can one withdraw EPF
In case of retirement (or at 58 years of age), on completion of 10 years of service, unemployment of 2 months, or death before the specified retirement age, one can withdraw the EPF amount.
