  • The girl child's birth certificate.
  • The depositor's identification and a valid address proof.

  • Any additional documents requested by the relevant authority.

Once you meet these requirements and have the necessary documents, you can use the SSY calculator online to plan your investments.

How can Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana (SSY) calculator help?

Many parents invest in their daughter's future, especially for education and marriage expenses. Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana (SSY) is a popular choice due to its high interest rates and tax benefits. Under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act, you can claim up to Rs 1.5 lakh as a tax exemption for Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana contributions. The interest income is also tax-exempt, and the maturity amount receives tax benefits.

To calculate the maturity amount, the SSY calculator is a handy tool. It simplifies the process, eliminating manual errors. You can adjust contributions to meet your desired savings goal. This free tool offers precise results for multiple scenarios.

Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana is a long-term investment with a minimum annual contribution requirement to keep the account active. Using an online Sukanya Samriddhi calculator provides an overview of your investments and returns.

Key benefits include:

  • Reveals your Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana account's maturity year.
  • Displays the maturity amount you will receive.
  • Assists in effective investment portfolio planning.

How does the Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana (SSY) calculator work?

The maturity period for this amount is 21 years. It is crucial to note that for the first 14 years, you must make at least one contribution annually to maintain the scheme's active status.

Should you choose not to contribute to your Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana account between the 15th and 21st year, that is perfectly acceptable. Your prior deposits will continue to accrue interest at the prevailing rate. The ultimate amount you will receive is determined by your total contributions and the accumulated interest.

The Sukanya Yojana calculator employs this formula to provide you with results:

A = P (1 + r/n) ^ nt

Where:

A

Total amount with interest

P

Initial amount

r

Interest rate

n

Number of times interest is compounded per year

t

Number of years

 

Example

Imagine someone deposits Rs. 1.5 lakh every year for 15 years into an SSY account earning an 8% annual interest rate. We want to find the total amount available after 21 years (maturity).

Deposits and Interest:

  • The investor contributes Rs. 1.5 lakh annually for 15 years, totaling (Rs. 1.5 lakh/year * 15 years) = Rs. 22.5 lakh.

Interest earned during contribution period (years 1-15):

This can be calculated manually using spreadsheets, but for this example, let's assume the accumulated interest after 15 years is Rs. 43.98 lakh.

Maturity and final amount:

  • The SSY account remains active for 21 years (maturity period). Although deposits stop after 15 years, the accumulated amount continues to earn interest.

The magic of compound interest

The table shows how the account balance increases year after year. You can see how interest grows on the growing balance.
