See what something that costs a set amount today will cost in future years, and how much buying power your money loses.
| Cost today | ₹1.00 L |
|---|---|
| Years | 10 years |
| Inflation a year | 6% |
| Cost in 10 years | ₹1.79 L |
| Prices double every | 11 years 11 months |
| ₹100 today buys what costs | ₹179.08 then |
| ₹100 kept as cash is worth | ₹55.84 in today’s money |
Inflation is how fast prices rise. The calculator compounds today’s cost once a year at the rate you choose.
Use a higher rate for costs that have risen faster for you, such as school fees or medical bills.
Formula: Future cost = Cost today × (1 + inflation)^years.
At 6% inflation, you will need about ₹1.79 L to buy what ₹1 lakh buys today.
Many plans use 6% for general spending. Education and healthcare costs have often risen faster.
