EPF and EPS Contribution Calculator

EPF and EPS Calculator User Guide

Overview

The EPF (Employees’ Provident Fund) Calculator helps you calculate EPF and EPS (Employees’ Pension Scheme) contributions for employees in India. It uses the basic salary, the contribution rates and a few special conditions to show how much goes to the PF account and how much to the pension fund. It uses the wage ceiling of ₹25,000 per month, effective 17 September 2026.

Input Fields

1. Basic Salary + DA (₹ per month)

• Enter the employee’s monthly basic salary plus dearness allowance in Indian Rupees (₹).
• The wage ceiling for mandatory EPF is ₹25,000 per month.
• The field accepts numbers only. Enter whole rupees.

2. Employee Contribution (%)

• Default rate is 12%.
• Can be set between 0% and 100%.
• This is the percentage of the PF wage deducted from the employee’s pay.

3. Employer Contribution (%)

• Default rate is 12%, normally split as 8.33% to EPS and the rest to EPF.
• Can be changed if needed. The calculator uses the rate you enter.
• Any part of the employer’s contribution that is not EPS goes to the employee’s EPF account.

4. Calculation Period

• Monthly: one month
• Quarterly: three months
• Half Yearly: six months
• Annually: twelve months

5. Special Conditions

Apply ₹25,000 Ceiling Limit for EPF calculation

• Ticked by default.
• When ticked, contributions are calculated on a maximum of ₹25,000 even if the salary is higher.
• Untick it if the employer contributes on the full salary (voluntary contribution above the ceiling). EPS is still calculated only on wages up to ₹25,000.

Not an EPS member (joined EPF on or after 01 September 2014 with wages above the ceiling)

• Tick this if the employee is not a member of the pension scheme.
• EPS contribution becomes 0%, and the whole employer contribution goes to EPF.

Results

The results update as you type or change any field. There is no Calculate button.

• Summary cards: Deducted from your salary, Paid by your employer, and Total deposited.
• Table: Employee EPF, Employer EPF and Employer EPS, with who pays each and where it goes (PF account or pension fund), plus the total.
• Summary line: How much goes into the PF account and how much into the pension fund (EPS).

If the salary field is empty, nothing is shown. If a value is invalid, such as a rate above 100%, an error message appears.

Important Notes

1. Results update in real time as you enter values.
2. Amounts are rounded to the nearest rupee each month, as EPFO does, and shown with two decimal places.
3. The calculator adjusts for the selected calculation period, whether the ceiling is applied, and whether the employee is an EPS member.
4. EPS is always calculated on wages up to ₹25,000, so the maximum employer EPS is about ₹2,083 per month.
5. Admin and EDLI charges are not included.

Best Practices

1. Check the salary you enter. Use basic salary plus DA.
2. Check the calculation period.
3. Set the checkboxes to match the employee’s situation.
4. Review every line in the results table.
5. Untick the ceiling box only if your company contributes on the full salary.

Troubleshooting

If the results look wrong:

1. Check that the salary and both contribution rates are correct.
2. Check that the right calculation period is selected.
3. Check the ceiling box and the “Not an EPS member” box.
4. Enter the salary in whole rupees, with no paise.
