Enter a current amount, the expected inflation rate and number of years. The calculator shows the future cost and the drop in purchasing power over time.
Future cost = present cost × (1 + inflation rate)^years. At 6% inflation, an item costing ₹1,000 today would cost about ₹1,791 in ten years.
As prices rise, the same money buys fewer goods. ₹100 today buys less each year, which is why savings must earn more than inflation to grow in real terms.
Ignoring inflation understates future expenses like retirement or education. Factoring it in helps you set realistic savings and investment targets that keep pace.
