What Is a Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana Calculator?
A Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana calculator estimates the amount that
may accumulate in an SSY account by maturity. It uses your annual
contribution, assumed interest rate, contribution frequency and
account duration to calculate the projected maturity value.
The calculator also separates the total amount deposited from
the estimated interest earned. This makes it easier for parents
and guardians to understand how regular savings and long-term
compounding may help create a future fund for a girl child.
Maturity Estimate
Calculate the estimated account value after the full
21-year term.
Interest Breakdown
Compare your total deposits with the estimated interest
earned.
Yearly Projection
Review estimated account growth for every year until
maturity.
How Does the SSY Calculator Work?
The calculator assumes that contributions are made for the first
15 years after opening the account. After the contribution period
ends, the accumulated balance continues to earn the assumed
interest until the account completes its 21-year term.
Estimated yearly interest:
Eligible Account Balance × Annual Interest Rate ÷ 100
Closing balance:
Opening Balance + Deposit + Estimated Interest
Estimated maturity amount:
Total Deposits + Total Interest Earned
When the monthly deposit option is selected, the annual
contribution is divided into 12 equal deposits. The calculator
estimates monthly interest eligibility and adds the accumulated
interest at the end of each account year.

Important Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana Rules
Girl Child Eligibility
An SSY account is generally opened in the name of a
girl child who has not attained 10 years of age.
Deposit Limits
The annual deposit generally ranges from ₹250 to
₹1,50,000 per financial year.
Contribution Period
Deposits may be made for 15 years from the date the
account is opened.
Account Maturity
The account generally matures 21 years after its
opening date.
Education Withdrawal
Subject to scheme conditions, a withdrawal of up to
50% may be permitted for eligible education expenses.
Variable Interest Rate
The applicable SSY interest rate may be revised by
the government periodically.
Why Deposit Timing Matters
SSY interest is calculated using the eligible balance for each
month. A contribution deposited early enough in the month may
earn interest for that month, while a later deposit may begin
earning interest from the following month.
This calculator assumes yearly contributions are made near the
beginning of the account year. For monthly contributions, it
assumes each payment is made before the monthly interest
eligibility date.

savings scheme designed to encourage long-term savings
for a girl child's future education and other eligible
financial needs.

of 8.2%. The rate field is editable because the

The minimum required deposit is generally ₹250 during a
financial year, subject to the latest official scheme rules.

stop.
When does an SSY account mature?
An SSY account generally matures after completing 21
years from its opening date, subject to applicable

Is the maturity result guaranteed?
No. The result is an estimate that assumes the entered
interest rate remains constant. Actual SSY rates can

a different maturity amount.

No. The maturity projection assumes no withdrawal is
made before maturity. An eligible education withdrawal
would reduce the remaining balance and future interest.
