How this is calculated
Future cost = amount × (1 + inflation)^years. Purchasing power = amount ÷ (1 + inflation)^years.
Inflation works in both directions: the same basket costs more, and the same rupee buys less. Both figures are shown, because the second one is the one people underestimate.

Educational calculation, not personal advice
This calculator is provided for education and illustration. It applies the assumptions shown to the figures you entered; it does not take account of your circumstances, goals, tax position or risk tolerance, and it is not a personal recommendation. Projections are not forecasts, and no return is guaranteed. Investment values can fall as well as rise. Speak to a qualified adviser before acting on anything here.
Want this checked against your actual position?
A calculator works with the numbers you give it. A planner works with the ones you have — including the tax, protection and liquidity questions this tool does not ask.
