Sukanya Samriddhi Calculator: what it calculates.

Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana (SSY) is a government-backed savings scheme for a girl child, opened at a post office or authorised bank before she turns 10. Deposits are made for 15 years and the account matures 21 years after opening. This calculator estimates the maturity value from your yearly deposit and the interest rate you assume.

The SSY calculator adds a yearly deposit for 15 years, compounds the balance annually at the assumed rate for the full 21 years, and shows total deposits, interest earned, the maturity year and your daughter's age at maturity.

How the calculation works.

Balance each year = (previous balance + deposit) × (1 + rate); deposits stop after year 15
  • Deposits range from ₹250 to ₹1.5 lakh in a financial year.
  • Interest is compounded yearly; the government notifies the rate every quarter (8.2% in recent quarters).
  • The account matures 21 years after opening; the last six years earn interest without new deposits.
  • Deposits qualify for 80C under the old tax regime, and interest and maturity are tax-free.

Worked example. Depositing ₹1.5 lakh at the start of every year for 15 years at 8.2% puts in ₹22.5 lakh and grows to an illustrative ₹71.8 lakh at maturity in year 21, of which about ₹49.3 lakh is interest. For a girl who is 2 when the account opens, it matures when she is 23.

How to use it

  1. 1.Enter your yearly deposit between ₹250 and ₹1.5 lakh.
  2. 2.Enter your daughter's age when the account is opened (below 10).
  3. 3.Set the account opening date to see the maturity year.
  4. 4.Use the current notified rate, then test a lower rate to see the effect of future rate changes.

What it helps with

  • Shows total deposits versus interest earned over 21 years.
  • Tells you the maturity year and your daughter's age then.
  • Flags an age that is not eligible for a new account.
  • Shows the inflation-adjusted value of the maturity amount.

What it does not include

  • The interest rate changes quarterly, so the real maturity amount will differ.
  • Deposits are assumed at the start of each year; later deposits earn less interest.
  • Partial withdrawal for education after age 18 and early closure rules are not modelled.
  • Confirm eligibility and rules with India Post or your bank.

Common questions.

Are SSY contributions made for all 21 years?

No. Deposits are permitted for 15 years from opening, while the account normally matures 21 years from opening.

Can an SSY account be opened after the girl child turns 10?

A new account must ordinarily be opened before the girl child reaches age 10, subject to the scheme rules.

What is a Sukanya Samriddhi Calculator?

It is an educational tool that applies the disclosed SSY projection method to the assumptions you enter.

Are the results guaranteed?

No. Results are estimates, not forecasts, approvals, quotations or guarantees.

Why should I change the assumptions?

Testing conservative and optimistic inputs exposes uncertainty instead of hiding it behind one number.

Does it include tax and fees?

Only when a tax or fee is shown as an explicit input or result. Otherwise it is excluded.

How accurate is the calculator?

The mathematics follows the stated methodology, while real outcomes depend on rates, timing, rules, fees and circumstances.

Can I use this result as financial advice?

No. Use it for education and scenario comparison, then verify decisions with official documents or a qualified professional.

Why is inflation shown?

Inflation translates a future amount into approximate present-day purchasing power. The default 6% is editable and is not a forecast.

How often should I recalculate?

Recalculate when rates, income, contributions, rules, goals or repayment terms change.

Can the result differ from a bank or platform?

Yes. Institutions may use different compounding dates, rounding, charges and eligibility rules.
