Frequently asked questions
What inflation rate should I use?
India’s long-run average retail inflation has generally been in the 5–7% range, though it varies by year and category of spending — use a rate that reflects your own planning assumption.
Why does inflation matter for financial planning?
Inflation reduces the purchasing power of money over time, so a retirement or goal corpus that looks sufficient today may fall short in the future unless it grows faster than inflation.
