How it is calculated

Employee EPF = 12% × PF wages. Employer 12% = EPS 8.33% × min(wages, ceiling) [max ₹1,250] + balance to EPF. Each month interest = opening balance × rate ÷ 12; balance += contributions; interest is added at year end. Wages rise by the yearly increase %.

Worked example

Basic + DA ₹30,000, contribution on actual wages: employee ₹3,600; employer ₹3,600 of which EPS ₹1,250 (8.33% of ₹15,000) and EPF ₹2,350. Total to EPF = ₹5,950 a month in year 1.

Frequently asked questions

Why does the employer's 12% not all go to my EPF?

Part of it (8.33% of wages up to the ₹15,000 ceiling, so at most ₹1,250 a month) is diverted to the Employees' Pension Scheme. Only the remainder is credited to your EPF account.

Is the EPF interest rate fixed?

No. EPFO's Central Board recommends a rate every year and the government notifies it. Update the rate field when a new one is declared.

Should I contribute on the full salary or the ₹15,000 ceiling?

Above the ceiling, contributing on actual wages needs employer agreement (and a joint option for EPS). It raises take-home deductions but builds a bigger tax-efficient corpus. Check your offer letter.
