Frequently asked questions
Is the interest rate guaranteed for the whole term?
No. The rate is an editable assumption. Official PPF rates can change over time.
Does this calculate the exact government account balance?
No. It is an annual-compounding projection; actual PPF interest uses official account rules and credited rates.
