How this SSY estimate works
Sukanya Samriddhi Account is a Government small-savings scheme for a girl child. India Post currently lists an 8.2% annual interest rate, calculated yearly and compounded yearly. The calculator keeps the rate editable because Government small-savings rates may change over time.
Assumptions
This is a planning projection, not an account statement. It assumes the same annual contribution is made at the start of each contribution year and then compounds the running balance annually. Actual interest depends on deposit timing, notified rates for each period, account opening date and scheme rules.
Useful limits
Use the calculator to compare contribution levels and long-term outcomes. Before opening or funding an account, confirm current eligibility, deposit limits, maturity and withdrawal provisions with India Post or the authorised bank.
