About Inflation-Adjusted SIP Calculator
The ₹2 crore your SIP calculator promises is measured in rupees that won't exist — 20 years of 6% inflation shrinks each one to 31 paise of today's purchasing power. This calculator does both conversions at once: the default ₹20,000 SIP at 12% builds a nominal ₹2 crore, which the deflator reveals as roughly ₹62 lakh of today's buying power — still excellent, but a different retirement. The real-return line is the honest engine size: (1.12)/(1.06) − 1 ≈ 5.66%, not the 6% that naive subtraction suggests and certainly not 12%. Every long-term plan secretly runs on this number — it's why equity (real return 5–7%) builds wealth while FDs (real return ~0–1% after tax) merely preserve it, and why 'safe' instruments guarantee nominal rupees while quietly losing the purchasing-power war. Use today's-money outputs for goal-setting and you'll never be ambushed: a goal of '₹50 lakh of today's purchasing power for education' is planned correctly here by reading the REAL output, not the nominal one. Pair this with the step-up SIP — escalating contributions with your (inflating) income is the natural hedge that keeps the real plan on track.

Frequently asked questions
Mera ₹2 crore retirement corpus asli me kitna hoga?+
20 saal aur 6% inflation maan kar: aaj ke ~₹62 lakh ke barabar. Inflation har 12 saal me purchasing power lagbhag aadhi kar deta hai (6% par). Isliye plan REAL value se kijiye: jitna aaj chahiye hota, utna 'real' output me dikhe — nominal number sirf bank statement ke liye hai.
Real return 12 − 6 = 6% kyun nahi hota?+
Compounding ratio se chalta hai, subtraction se nahi: (1.12 ÷ 1.06) − 1 = 5.66%. Chhote rates par farak chhota lagta hai par 20 saal me compound ho kar lakhon ka antar ban jata hai. High-inflation desho me yeh approximation aur bhi galat hota hai — hamesha ratio wala formula sahi hai.
Kya FD inflation ko beat karti hai?+
Mushkil se: 7% FD par 30% slab ka tax kaate to ~4.9% bachta hai — 6% inflation ke saamne REAL return negative. FD capital ki suraksha aur short-term goals ke liye sahi jagah hai; 10+ saal ki wealth-building inflation-beating assets (equity, real assets) ke bina nahi hoti. Yahi is calculator ka asli sabak hai.
Which inflation rate should I assume?+
India's long-run CPI hovers near 5–6% — use 6% as the planning default, 7–8% for education/medical goals (their inflation runs hotter than CPI), and 4–5% if you want an optimistic bracket. Whatever you pick, consistency matters more: use the same assumption across all your goal calculations.
