If you also want to know how much money has come in your account, then here we are telling you the complete calculation…
- This year so much interest will come in PF account
- Here the interest on PF is calculated on the basic salary of Rs 15000.
- Basic Salary + DA = Rs 15,000
- Employee’s share in EPF = 12% of Rs 15,000 = Rs 1,800
- Company’s contribution to EPS = 8.33% of Rs 15,000 = Rs 1,250
- Company’s contribution to EPF = Employee’s share – Company’s contribution to EPS = Rs 550
- This much money goes to EPF every month = Rs 1800 + Rs 550 = Rs 2,350
- Interest rate for the financial year 2019-20 = 8.50 %
- Accordingly, this will be the interest every month = 8.50 % /12 = 0.7083 %
Interest will be calculated like this
- EPF account balance at the end of April = Rs 2,350
- In the month of May, the EPF account will have this much contribution = Rs 2,350
- Total deposits in EPF account at the end of May = Rs 4700
- At the end of May, EPF will be deposited so much interest = Rs 4700 X 0.7083% = Rs 33.29
- Interest will be available at the end of May = Rs 33.29
- Based on this, the interest for the coming months will also be calculated.
