Interest Rate calculation for EPF
Current interest rate is 8.65% EPF contributions made by the employer and the employee. The calculation of interest relay on the salary of employee and on the share of employer’s PF contribution towards EPF.
To calculate the interest on EPF, let us first look into the EPF contribution structure for better understanding of EPF
Contribution of employee is 12% from basic salary it also called as EE amount
Contribution of employer is also 12 % but it is divided to contribute towards not only EPF but also for the other schemes it is also called as ER amount below are the ratio in which employers ER ratio is calculated only 3.67% which is lower land employee share toward the EPF scheme
Employee’s Provident Fund (EPF) – 3.67%
Employee’s Pension Scheme (EPS) – 8.33%
Employee’s Deposit Link Insurance Scheme (EDLIS) 0.50%
EPF Admin Charges – 1.10%
EDLIS Admin Charges – 0.01%
For example if an employee basic pay is 15000 below are the EE amount and ER amount calculations
Method 1
EE amount (employee contribution) = 12% basic pay + DA
ER amount (employer contribution) = 12% basic pay- 8.33% of 15000rs
PF deduction=Adding EE amount + ER amount
Method 2
EE amount (employee contribution) = 12% basic pay + DA
ER amount (employer contribution) = 3.67% of 15000rs
PF deduction=Adding EE amount + ER amount
