About the Inflation Calculator
Inflation raises prices over time, so the same money buys less in the future. This calculator shows what today's purchases could cost later and how much your money will really be worth.
Enter the amount, expected inflation and the number of years.
Formula used
Future cost = Amount × (1 + inflation)^years. Value of today's money = Amount ÷ (1 + inflation)^years.
Frequently asked questions
What inflation should I assume?
India has often seen 4% to 7% in recent years. For education and healthcare, use higher figures.
Why does inflation matter for savings?
If your savings earn less than inflation, they lose buying power.
Is this the same as CPI?
No. It uses the single rate you enter, while official inflation is measured on a basket of goods.
