How this post office monthly income scheme calculator works
Interest income equals principal multiplied by the entered annual rate, divided into monthly and quarterly amounts. Principal remains unchanged in this income model.
A worked example
At a 7.4% entered rate, ₹5 lakh produces an estimated ₹3,083.33 monthly before tax.
Is the monthly income compounded?
No. This calculator presents an income-payout estimate on unchanged principal. It does not assume reinvestment.
