How it works
About the inflation calculator
Inflation quietly reduces what your money can buy. An investment that earns less than inflation loses value in real terms even if the number in your account goes up.
The formula
Future cost = C × (1 + i)n; Real value = C ÷ (1 + i)n
i = inflation, n = years.
Frequently asked questions
What inflation rate should I assume?
India’s retail inflation has averaged roughly 5% to 6% over long periods, but your own costs, such as education or healthcare, may rise faster.
