FAQs

  • Why use Policybazaar's SSY Calculator?

    Policybazaar’s SSY Calculator helps you easily estimate the maturity amount of your Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana account based on current interest rates, yearly deposits, and investment duration. It simplifies complex calculations to help you effectively plan your finances for your daughter’s future needs.
  • What is Sukanya Rs. 10,000 per month?

    This means depositing Rs. 10,000 every month into the SSY account. Over the 15-year deposit period plus 6-year lock-in, this can grow to a significant corpus (potentially around Rs. 1 crore) with compounded interest at 8.2%.
  • How is Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana calculated by the post office?

    The Post Office SSY calculator applies the government-set interest rate to annual or monthly contributions over the 21-year tenure. It sums deposits and compounded interest each year to estimate the maturity amount.
  • What is Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana 1500 per month post office?

    Investing Rs. 1,500 monthly (Rs. 18,000 yearly) in SSY for 15 years can yield a maturity corpus of around Rs. 10-11 lakhs after 21 years, including compounded interest.
  • What is Sukanya 1000 per month?

    It refers to monthly contributions of Rs. 1,000 in the SSY account. Such deposits over 15 years with 8.2% interest can mature to about Rs. 5.4 lakhs after 21 years.
  • What is SSY 5000 per month?

    Investing Rs. 5,000 monthly (Rs. 60,000 annually) is a higher contribution level to build a larger corpus for the girl child. The maturity amount and interest earned can be calculated using the SSY calculator for this input.
  • How does the Policybazaar SSY Calculator calculate the maturity amount?

    It calculates maturity by compounding the annual deposits with the current SSY interest rate (compounded yearly) over the investment period of typically 21 years. It adds up all deposits and interest accrued each year to provide the total maturity amount you can expect at the end of the scheme.
  • What is the deposit 2000 per month in Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana?

    Depositing Rs. 2,000 monthly results in a maturity amount close to Rs. 10.78 lakhs after 21 years at 8.2% interest, assuming consistent monthly deposits for 15 years followed by a 6-year lock-in period.
  • What is the deposit for SSY after 15 years?

    You can only deposit into the SSY account for 15 years from the account opening date. After 15 years, no further deposits are allowed, but the balance continues to earn interest until maturity at 21 years.
  • How much money will I get after 21 years of Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana?

    Maturity depends on your total annual deposits and interest. For example, investing Rs. 50,000 annually for 15 years at 8.2% yields about Rs. 23.94 lakhs. Investing the maximum Rs. 1.5 lakh annually can grow to around Rs. 69.28 lakhs or more after 21 years.

    The calculator shows you the expected maturity amount, total principal invested, and interest earned over the years. It allows you to adjust inputs like annual investment and tenure so you can visualize different saving scenarios and set realistic financial goals for education or marriage.
  • Is the amount calculated by the Sukanya Samriddhi Calculator Guaranteed?

    No, while your principal amount remains safe and earns interest, the interest rate announced by the government can change, and thus the amount calculated by the SSY calculator is not absolute.
  • Does SSY Calculator include Tax benefits?

    No; however, since SSY enjoys the EEE status, the final amount displayed by the calculator is already tax-free.
  • Why should I use an SSY calculator before investing?

    You should use an SSY calculator to:
    • Calculate your final corpus amount.
    • Evaluate the corpus using different investment amounts and compare them.
