How does the Inflation Calculator work?
Inflation measures the rate at which the general level of prices for goods and services is rising, and subsequently, how purchasing power is falling. Our calculator uses the standard compound interest formula:
Future Cost = Current Amount × (1 + Inflation Rate / 100) ^ Years
Past Value = Future Amount / (1 + Inflation Rate / 100) ^ Years
For example, if the inflation rate is 3% per year, an item that costs ₹100 today will cost approximately ₹134.39 in 10 years. Conversely, ₹100 in the future has the purchasing power of only ₹74.41 today.
