Inflation Calculator
See how an assumed inflation rate could affect the value of money over time, in either direction.
Equivalent Future Amount
₹1,79,085
Increase Due to Inflation
₹79,085
The inflation rate is an assumption only — this is not an official forecast.
How it is calculated
Future = Amount × (1 + rate)^years · Present = Amount / (1 + rate)^years
The forward direction shows what today's amount is comparable to in future money terms. The backward direction converts a future amount into today's purchasing power.
Example
At an assumed 6% annual inflation, ₹1,00,000 today corresponds to about ₹1,79,085 in 10 years — that is, the same basket of goods would cost roughly that much.
Important notes
- Inflation rate is an assumption, not a forecast.
- Different goods and services inflate at different rates.
Frequently asked questions
What does inflation do to my money?
Inflation reduces purchasing power over time — the same amount of money buys less in the future than it does today.
Is the inflation rate I enter a forecast?
No. It is simply an assumption to illustrate the effect. Actual inflation varies year to year — this is not an official inflation forecast.
What is the reverse calculation for?
It tells you what a future rupee amount would be comparable to in today's money, which is useful for planning savings goals.
