About Child Marriage Corpus Calculator
The Indian wedding is a financial event families plan two decades out, and the math deserves the same honesty as any goal: a ₹30 lakh wedding today inflates to roughly ₹1.01 crore over 18 years at 7% (venue, catering and gold have outpaced CPI for decades) — needing about ₹13,200/month at 11% returns. The schedule above shows the contributions-versus-growth split that makes early starting decisive. Gold deserves special treatment in this goal: jewellery is typically 25-35% of wedding budgets and inflates on its own curve — hedging it IN KIND via sovereign gold bonds or gold-fund SIPs (rather than physical purchases that pay making-charges twice) immunizes that slice against gold-price spikes; SGBs' 2.5% interest plus tax-free maturity (if held full term) make them the structurally best vehicle when tranches align with your horizon. Hold the target loosely — this goal, uniquely, is negotiable: weddings flex with family circumstances and the child's own preferences two decades hence (destination-intimate versus 800-guest formats differ 5× in cost), so fund a CORE (say 60% of the projected figure) with conviction and keep the stretch in flexible instruments rather than locked products. An over-funded illiquid marriage-corpus that the child ultimately doesn't want is a real (and common) planning failure; money in ordinary mutual funds repurposes to education, home down-payment or their business without penalty.

Frequently asked questions
Shaadi ke liye kitna fund banana chahiye?+
Aaj ke budget ko 7% se inflate kijiye: ₹30 lakh ki shaadi 18 saal baad ~₹1 crore; ₹15 lakh wali ~₹50 lakh. Phir 11% return par required SIP upar dekh lijiye. Imandaar tareeka: core 60-70% pakka fund karein, baaki flexible — shaadi ka format 20 saal pehle koi nahi jaanta, par zero planning ka anth lagbhag hamesha loan hota hai.
Gold abhi se kharidte rahein ya fund banayein?+
Hedge kijiye par physical nahi: SGB (2.5% interest + maturity tax-free + no making charges) ya gold funds/ETF se 25-30% allocation us hisse ko gold-inflation se bacha leta hai. Physical jewellery 18 saal pehle kharidna design-obsolescence + making-charge double-payment hai. Shaadi ke 1-2 saal pehle hi designs ke hisaab se convert karein.
Beti aur bete dono ke liye alag fund chahiye?+
Goals alag rakhein par instruments share ho sakte hain — ek hi mutual-fund folio me do SIP-buckets tag karke. Beti ke case me SSY ka sovereign 8.2% pehla layer ho sakta hai (education-cum-marriage dono ke liye, 21-saal maturity timing aksar fit baithti hai). Asli rule: dono ke liye TRANSPARENT planning — yeh corpus hi ghar ke jhagdon ka beema hai.
Shaadi ke liye loan lena kitna galat hai?+
Sabse mehnga personal-loan use-case hai: 12-14% par 4-5 saal ki EMI us function ke liye jo ek hafta chala — aur jeevan ki sabse expensive-EMI years (naya ghar, bachche) usi ke baad aate hain. Is calculator ka pura point wahi hai: ₹13,000/month 18 saal pehle versus ₹60,000+ EMI baad me. Planning sasta paksh hai.
