Inflation Calculator

Estimate how inflation changes the purchasing power of money over time using an annual inflation rate.

Inflation Details

Enter the amount of money you want to compare.
Use the average annual inflation rate for your calculation.
Future Amount Needed ₹179,084.77
Starting Amount ₹1,00,000.00
Inflation Rate 6.00% / year
Years 10 years
Increase Due to Inflation ₹79,084.77

How the Inflation Calculator works

Future Value = Present Value × (1 + Inflation Rate)Years

If today's price is ₹1,00,000 and inflation averages 6% per year for 10 years, you would need approximately ₹1,79,084.77 in the future to have equivalent purchasing power.

Reverse calculation

Past Value in Today's Money = Past Amount ÷ (1 + Inflation Rate)Years

This option estimates what a past amount would be worth in today's money when the same annual inflation rate is assumed.

Important: This calculator is an estimate based on a constant annual inflation rate. Actual inflation can vary from year to year, and different goods and services can experience different price changes.
