What is Inflation?
Inflation refers to the increase in the prices of goods and services over time, which reduces the purchasing power of money. In simple terms, the same amount of money will buy fewer goods in the future compared to today.
Why is Inflation Important?
Inflation plays a crucial role in financial planning as it directly impacts the future value of money. Expenses such as education, healthcare, and daily living costs tend to increase over time.
Understanding inflation helps individuals plan their investments more effectively to maintain their purchasing power in the long term.
How This Inflation Calculator Works
This calculator estimates the future value of a current amount based on an assumed annual inflation rate and time period.
It uses a standard compounding formula where the value increases each year based on the inflation rate.
Example
For example, if an expense is ₹1,00,000 today and the inflation rate is 6% per year, the cost of the same expense after 10 years will be significantly higher due to the compounding effect of inflation.
