How PF is calculated on salary

Provident fund (EPF) is a retirement saving both you and your employer pay into every month. It is calculated on your basic salary plus dearness allowance, not your full salary.

You pay 12% of basic to EPF. Your employer pays 12% too, but of that, up to ₹1,250 goes to the pension scheme (EPS) and the rest to EPF. The EPF balance earns interest, currently 8.25% a year.
Employee 12%Your full contribution goes into the EPF corpus.
Employer 12%Split into EPS (pension) and EPF, based on the ₹15,000 wage ceiling.
EPS cap ₹1,2508.33% of ₹15,000. Anything above it from the employer goes to EPF.
Interest 8.25%Credited yearly on the running EPF balance.

The EPS (pension) portion is not part of the EPF lump sum; it funds a monthly pension after retirement, so this calculator keeps it separate from the corpus figure.
