How EPF is Calculated
Your Monthly EPF contributions are computed based on your Monthly Basic Salary (+ DA):
- Employee Contribution = 12% of Basic + DA
- Employer Contribution to EPF = 3.67% of Basic + DA
- Employer Contribution to EPS (Pension) = 8.33% of Basic + DA (Subject to a salary cap of ₹15,000, meaning EPS is capped at ₹1,250 per month. Any excess employer share flows into EPF).
Interest is calculated monthly on the outstanding balance, but credited to your account at the end of each financial year (March 31st) using the government-mandated EPF interest rate.

Frequently Asked Questions
For employees with a monthly basic salary plus dearness allowance (DA) under ₹15,000, registration in the EPF scheme is mandatory. For salaries higher than ₹15,000, employees can voluntarily register with employer consent.
Yes. Voluntary Provident Fund (VPF) contributions earn the exact same interest rate as EPF (8.25% p.a.). The money is managed in the same EPF account, and the interest continues to compound annually until withdrawal or retirement.
