Frequently Asked Questions
How does inflation affect the value of money?+
Inflation raises prices over time, so the same amount of money buys less in the future. At 6% inflation, something costing ₹1,000 today will cost about ₹1,791 in ten years, while ₹1,000 held today will only be worth about ₹558 in purchasing power.
How is future cost calculated?+
Future cost is the amount multiplied by (1 + inflation rate)^years. This calculator uses the annual inflation rate you enter compounded over the number of years to project the future price.
What is purchasing power?+
Purchasing power is how much your money will actually be worth in today's terms after inflation. It is the amount divided by (1 + inflation rate)^years, showing the real value of money held over time.
