Impact Over Time

Purchasing Power: Current Amount / (1 + inflation rate) ^ years

The future equivalent tells you how much you will need in the future to buy what your current amount buys today.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good inflation rate assumption for India?
India's average inflation over the last decade has been around 5–6%. For long-term planning, 6% is a commonly used assumption. CPI inflation data is published monthly by the government.
How does inflation affect my savings?
If your savings earn less than the inflation rate, your money loses purchasing power over time. For example, at 6% inflation, ₹10 lakh today would need to become roughly ₹32 lakh in 20 years to buy the same goods.
