What could today’s cost become in future rupees?
Use this for a one-time purchase or for a recurring monthly expense. The calculator shows the future cost under the inflation assumption you choose.
Inflation is not identical for every expense
Education, healthcare, housing and food can move differently. Use a rate that makes sense for the scenario you are testing.
Enter today’s amount, your inflation assumption and the time period.
Estimated future cost
What this means
Cost today
Increase in rupees
Total percentage increase
Future / current cost
If the amount entered is monthly, read the result as the future monthly amount. If it is a one-time cost, read it as the future one-time cost.
Inflation changes purchasing power
The same rupee amount generally buys less when prices rise over time. That is why a future financial goal often needs to be stated in future rupees rather than today’s price.
