Frequently asked questions
What inflation rate should I use?
Use your own assumption for the goal. The RBI's CPI inflation target is 4% with a 2–6% band; education and healthcare costs often rise faster than headline inflation.
Does this use historical CPI data?
No, it uses a constant rate you choose, which is how goal-planning calculators work.
