Inflation Adjuster

Future Cost = Present Cost × (1 + inflation)^years

India's average inflation: 6-7% annually. Food inflation can be even higher.

At 7% inflation, prices double roughly every 10 years.

Your investments MUST beat inflation to grow wealth — FDs at 6% with 6% inflation = 0% real growth.

Education and healthcare inflation in India: 10-12% — much higher than CPI.

Inflation is the "silent tax" that erodes purchasing power without you noticing.

Pro Tip

Always plan in real (inflation-adjusted) terms. Your ₹1 Crore retirement corpus is only worth ₹25L in today's money after 25 years at 6% inflation.
