Inflation calculator

Estimate what today’s amount would need to grow to in order to buy the same things later, and how much today’s amount would buy at an assumed inflation rate.

Your assumption

Amount needed later to buy what this buys today
₹1,79,085
What today’s amount would buy later, in today’s money
₹55,839
Fall in buying power
44.16%

Prices of different things rise at different rates. A single yearly rate is a simplification.

How it works

Amount needed = Amount × (1 + inflation ÷ 100)^years. Buying power = Amount ÷ (1 + inflation ÷ 100)^years.

Assumptions

  • One constant inflation rate for every year. Official figures are published by the government (consumer price index); this tool does not fetch them.
  • The rate is your assumption; it is not a forecast.
