Post Office Monthly Income Scheme (POMIS) is a popular savings scheme offered by the Indian Postal Service. Designed for individuals who are looking for a stable source of income, this POMIS scheme requires a minimum investment of ₹1,000, with a maximum investment limit of ₹9 lacs for single accounts and ₹15 lacs for joint accounts, making it an attractive option for those seeking a predictable and reliable source of income. The interest rate is fixed at 7.4 % and the mandatory tenure for the savings is Five years
The Post Office MIS Calculator is a useful online tool that helps you estimate the maturity amount and monthly income you can expect from your MIS investment, considering factors such as the investment amount, term and current interest rates.
The calculator works using a simple formula. To calculate the due amount and monthly income based on user entered data:
(POMIS) monthly interest = Amount Invested \* Annual Interest Rate/1200
Let’s say you invest ₹5,00,000 in a Post Office MIS for 5 years (60 months) at an interest rate of 7.4% per annum
Monthly Income = 500000*7.4/1200 = Rs. 3083
The process to use this POMIS calculator is quite simple
