What is the expected return on a ₹10,000 monthly PPF investment?  

The expected return on a ₹10,000 monthly PPF investment depends on the prevailing interest rate, which is subject to change.

To calculate your potential returns, use an online PPF calculator and follow the below steps:
• Choose investment frequency: Select your preferred investment frequency (monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, or yearly).
• Enter investment amount: Input the amount you plan to invest for each chosen frequency.
• Select investment period: Specify the number of years you want to invest.
• Enter interest rate (optional): In many cases, the calculator will automatically populate the current PPF interest rate based on the latest government updates. If not, you will need to enter the rate manually.

Once you enter these details, the calculator will calculate your estimated maturity value based on the compound interest earned over the investment period.

The PPF calculator works in the following ways:
• Adds up your monthly investments: It totals the money you put in each month.
• Calculates interest: It figures out how much you will earn on the money you have invested.
• Shows your final amount: It tells you how much you will have at the end of your investment period.
