Choosing an inflation rate
- India’s consumer inflation has averaged around 5–6% a year over the long term; 6% is a common planning figure.
- Education and healthcare often rise 8–10% a year. Use a higher rate for those goals.
- The US, UK and Europe usually target about 2%, but have seen higher years.
Why it matters
- At 6% inflation, prices double in about 12 years. ₹50,000 of monthly expenses today become ₹1 lakh.
- Money in a savings account earning 3% loses buying power every year when inflation is 6%.
- Plan retirement and goals in future money: the Retirement Calculator and Goal Planner do this for you.
Worked example
₹1 lakh at 6% for 10 years: prices rise to about ₹1.79 lakh; today’s ₹1 lakh will buy what ₹56,000 buys now.
Errors and how to fix them
- Odd results: enter inflation as a yearly percentage (6, not 0.06).
