What Is an Inflation Calculator?

What Is Inflation and Why Does It Matter?
Inflation refers to the increase in the prices of goods and services over time. As prices rise, the purchasing power of money may decline, meaning the same amount of money may buy fewer goods and services in the future.
For example, an expense that costs ₹10 lakh today may require a significantly larger amount years later due to inflation. This is why inflation is an important consideration when planning long-term financial goals.
Inflation Formula
Formula Used
The Inflation Calculator estimates the future value of money using the following formula:
FV = PV × (1 + i)n
Where:
- FV = Future Value
- PV = Present Value
- i = Annual Inflation Rate
- n = Number of Years
The formula estimates how much money may be required in the future to maintain the same purchasing power.
Example Calculation
| Input | Value |
|---|---|
| Current Amount | ₹10,00,000 |
| Inflation Rate | 6% p.a. |
| Time Period | 15 Years |
| Future Value Required* | ₹23,96,558 |
*Illustrative estimate based on assumed inflation. Actual inflation may differ.
In this example, if inflation averages 6% per year, a financial goal costing ₹10 lakh today may require approximately ₹23.97 lakh after 15 years.
Why Inflation Matters for Financial Planning
Inflation can increase the future cost of important goals such as retirement, education, healthcare, and home ownership. Factoring inflation into financial planning can help investors estimate future funding requirements and make more informed decisions about saving and investing.
