How it works
About the child education calculator
Education costs in India have historically risen faster than general inflation. Starting early gives a SIP more years to compound, which keeps the monthly amount manageable.
The formula
Future cost = C × (1 + i)n; SIP covers Future cost − savings × (1 + R)n
n = years until the education starts.
Frequently asked questions
What inflation should I use for education?
Many planners use 8% to 10% for higher education, higher than general inflation. You can change the rate to test different scenarios.
