Inflation calculator shows how purchasing power decreases over time due to price increases. A ₹1L cost today may cost ₹1.6L in 10 years at 5% inflation. In India, inflation averages 5-6% historically, varying by category (food ~10%, fuel ~8%, services ~4%). Understanding inflation is critical for long-term financial planning: education costs, medical expenses, and retirement planning must account for inflation to remain realistic. Ignoring inflation in planning leads to severe shortfalls: ₹50L planned for retirement becomes inadequate if not adjusted for 30 years of inflation. This calculator motivates investment: keeping money in savings accounts earning 3-4% while inflation runs 5-6% loses purchasing power annually.
