- EPF Interest Rate 2025 is the percentage the Employees’ Provident Fund scheme pays on your savings in the account each year.
- It’s announced by the Government of India and applies to all general taxpayers using EPF.
- For the financial year ending March 31, 2025, it will typically range between 8%–9%, but the official rate is confirmed after the year ends.
How to Calculate EPF Interest Online (in Simple Steps)
- Know Your Monthly Balance
- EPF calculates interest based on the lowest amount in your account each month.
- For instance, if your balance on April 30 is ₹50,000, that’s the amount used for April’s interest.
- Check Official Interest Rate
- Once the year ends (March 31, 2025), the Government releases the official rate, e.g., 8.1%.
- Use the Online EPFO Calculator
- Visit the official EPFO member portal.
- Enter your monthly contributions and opening balance.
- The portal automatically applies the announced interest rate to each month’s balance.
- View Your Annual Interest
- The calculator totals up the interest for all 12 months.
- It shows your interest earned for 2024–25, which is added to your EPF account in April 2025.
Real-Life Example
- Suppose you have ₹50,000 in April, ₹52,000 in May, and ₹55,000 afterward.
- Government sets interest at 8.1% for 2024–25.
