EPF pension: How much will you get & how it's calculated

Out of your 12% salary contribution, the full amount goes into your EPF account. From your employer’s 12% contribution, 8.33% (up to Rs 1,250) is directed to EPS, and the remaining amount goes into EPF. In addition, the government contributes 1.16% (up to Rs 174), but this benefit is only available for employees earning a salary of up to Rs 15,000.
