How to use this calculator
- Enter the yearly deposit within the allowed SSY limits.
- Confirm the notified interest rate and its as-of date.
- Read deposits, interest and maturity at year 21.
Formula and worked example
You deposit for the first 15 years; the balance then keeps compounding annually at the notified rate until the account matures 21 years after opening. SSY is fully tax-free.
The exact formula
M = P × (1+i)⁷ × [ ((1+i)¹⁵ − 1) ÷ i ] P = yearly deposit i = annual rate Deposits are made for the first 15 years; the balance then compounds for the full 21-year term (no deposits in years 16–21).
Worked example. ₹1,50,000/yr · 8.2% → ₹71.82 L at maturity (₹22.50 L deposited over 15 years).

- Deposits for 15 years; maturity at 21 years from opening.
- Interest assumed constant though notified rates are revised periodically; SSY is EEE when rules allow.

SSY calculator
Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana (SSY) is a government scheme for a girl child with tax-advantaged interest when rules allow. Depositing ₹1.5 lakh yearly for 15 years at 8.2% grows to about ₹71.82 lakh by the 21-year maturity point in this illustration. Account opening rules (age of girl, number of accounts) sit outside the maths—verify eligibility before funding. Write the sukanya samriddhi inputs you trust into your annual review note so next year’s rerun of “SSY calculator” starts from recorded figures. Keep guardian KYC current as the child approaches adulthood so maturity claims are not delayed.
SSY maturity calculator
Maturity happens 21 years after opening even though deposits stop after 15 years; the balance keeps compounding. That is why the sample maturity near ₹71.82 lakh exceeds a simple 15-year deposit total of ₹22.50 lakh. If you need money at year 18 for education, check partial withdrawal rules rather than assuming full liquidity. Keep nominations and guardian KYC updated as the child approaches adulthood. When household opinions differ on risk for sukanya samriddhi under “SSY maturity calculator”, fund the more conservative case first and treat any extra debit as optional top-ups.
Sukanya Samriddhi maturity amount
Families searching for Sukanya Samriddhi maturity amount want the rupee finish line. With full yearly deposits at 8.2%, this page shows about ₹71.82 lakh. Lower yearly deposits scale roughly with contribution; rerun with your actual budget. Do not compare SSY with equity funds on return alone—SSY offers scheme rules and notified rates, not market upside. If the sukanya samriddhi instalment for “Sukanya Samriddhi maturity amount” looks unaffordable, cut the target or add years before you inflate the assumed return unrealistically.
SSY interest rate
SSY interest rates are notified and can change across quarters. Type the rate you want to stress-test; the default illustration uses 8.2%. At that rate with ₹1.5 lakh yearly deposits, interest earned is about ₹49.32 lakh by maturity. If rates fall, future deposits earn less—revisit the plan instead of locking a mental rate for 21 years. Confirm the latest notification before you open or top up an account. After you accept the “SSY interest rate” maths, update nominees and the bank mandate—process gaps undo an otherwise sound sukanya samriddhi plan.

Frequently asked questions
Who can open an SSY account?
A parent or guardian for a girl child below the eligible age, with limits on accounts per family—confirm current scheme rules.
Why is maturity at 21 years if deposits stop at 15?
The balance continues to earn interest until the 21-year mark under scheme design.
Is SSY interest taxable?
SSY is generally EEE when rules allow; confirm for your assessment year.
SSY vs PPF for a daughter?
SSY is earmarked for the girl child and often carries a different notified rate; PPF is more flexible for the parent. Many families use both.
Can I deposit less than ₹1.5 lakh?

Are partial withdrawals allowed?
Scheme rules allow limited withdrawals for education/marriage conditions—check the latest gazette, not only this page.
