Understanding Inflation Impact
Future Value

Purchasing Power
How much your money can buy decreases over time due to inflation, affecting your real wealth.
Financial Planning
Understanding inflation helps you plan investments and savings to maintain or grow your wealth.
Inflation Formula
Future Value = Present Value × (1 + Inflation Rate)^Years
Purchasing Power Loss = ((Future Value - Present Value) / Present Value) × 100
Example Calculation
If you have ₹100,000 today and inflation is 6.5% per year for 10 years:
- Future Value = ₹100,000 × (1.065)^10 = ₹188,563
- To buy what ₹100,000 buys today, you'll need ₹188,563 in 10 years
- Your purchasing power decreases by 88.56% over 10 years
