What is SSY Calculator?
SSY Calculator helps you project Sukanya Samriddhi savings using entered deposits and an assumed rate.
The main result is projected balance after 21 years, with a breakdown of contributions over 15 years and interest. The formula, example and assumptions below explain how to interpret it.

SSY Calculator: assumptions and common mistakes
A useful estimate starts with the right inputs. Check the following assumptions and limits before applying the result to your situation.
- Projection using the rate you enter, not a guaranteed return or live product quote. Unless stated otherwise, taxes, fees and inflation are excluded.
- Assumes eligible early-financial-year deposits, no withdrawals and a constant rate. Actual interest uses monthly eligible balances; eligibility and premature closure conditions are not assessed.
- A projected return is an assumption. Check whether fees, tax and inflation are included before comparing products.
