KVP Calculator (Kisan Vikas Patra)

How to Use KVP Calculator

1. Enter your investment amount. Any amount is accepted — there is no upper limit for KVP. The calculator will show how it grows to double over the maturity period.
2. Set the interest rate. The default is 7.5%, which currently doubles your money in 115 months (9 years 7 months). You can adjust the rate if it is revised.
3. Click Calculate. The tool computes the exact maturity period using the compounding formula, shows the maturity amount (2× principal), and displays a year‑wise growth table.
4. Review the year‑wise table. Each row shows the projected value of your investment at the end of that year, so you can see the compounding progress.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take for money to double in KVP?

At the current 7.5% interest rate, it takes 115 months (9 years and 7 months). The calculator derives this from the compounding formula and displays it precisely.

Can I withdraw KVP before maturity?

Yes, KVP can be encashed after 2.5 years. However, you will earn a lower effective return than the full maturity rate. The year‑wise table helps estimate the value if you redeem early.

Is KVP interest taxable?

Yes, the interest is taxable, but no TDS is deducted. The accrued interest should be declared annually under "Income from Other Sources" even though it is not paid out until maturity.

Is KVP Calculator free and private?

Yes — it is 100% free, needs no sign‑up, and everything runs in your browser; your data never leaves your device.
