Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about this tool.

What inflation rate should I assume?

India’s long-run CPI has averaged roughly 5–6%. Use a higher figure for education and healthcare, which have consistently inflated faster than the general index — planning a child’s education at headline inflation is the common way those projections fall short.

How quickly does inflation halve my money?

At 6%, purchasing power halves in about twelve years. Over a thirty-year retirement, prices roughly triple — which is why a corpus that sounds generous in today’s money frequently is not, and why a nominal return below inflation is a real loss however positive it looks.

How accurate is Inflation Calculator?

It uses the standard formula for the calculation, so the maths is exact for the numbers you enter. For loans, tax and investments, treat the answer as a close estimate and confirm the final figure with your bank or adviser.

Does Inflation Calculator save the numbers I enter?

No. Your figures are worked out in the browser and are not sent to any server or stored in an account. Salary, loan and health details stay on your device.

Are the income tax calculators up to date?

They are built on the slabs published by the Income Tax Department for the year shown on each page. Rules change with each Budget, so confirm the figures on the official portal before you file.

Can I rely on these calculators for health decisions?

They are good for a quick check, such as BMI or daily calories. They are not a medical diagnosis, so talk to a doctor before changing medicine, diet or treatment based on a result.

Do I need to install an app?

No. Every calculator runs in the browser on your phone or computer, with no download and no sign-up. Bookmark the page if you use it often.
