PPF is an investment scheme offered by the Government of India through centralised public and private sector banks.

Currently, the prevailing rate of interest is 7.10 per cent.

Using an SBI PPF calculator makes it easier for you to calculate your returns based on the available rate of interest and tenure. In fact, you can find the  calculator on most banks' websites.

PPF requires you to invest a minimum amount each year until the investment matures. You may prematurely withdraw your sum before maturity (as per conditions) or extend your account after that. 

All you need to do is enter the inputs which includes information like your yearly investment. Since the maturity time period is 15 years while the rate being offered is 7.10 per cent for this quarter, these inputs remain static.  

Suppose your yearly investment is Rs 25000, then your total investment over the period of 15 years will be Rs 375,000. The interest earned by you as per the calculator will be Rs 303,035, The total amount that you will get at maturity will be Rs 678,035.
