How the math works

Inflation compounds: each year prices rise by a percentage of the already-higher price. The formula is Future = Today × (1 + rate)^years. For this example, ₹15.0 L × (1 + 0.07)^5 ≈ ₹21.0 L.

Tips for planning around a wedding

  • Wedding-related services often inflate faster than general prices.
  • Lock in big vendors early to fix today's rates against inflation.
  • Build the inflated number into a dedicated savings goal.
  • Add a 10–15% buffer on top — weddings tend to overrun.

Run it with your own numbers

Open the full Inflation Calculator to set your own cost, timeline, and inflation rate — then turn the future figure into a monthly savings plan.

FAQ

Common questions

At 7% inflation, a wedding costing ₹15.0 L today would cost about ₹21.0 L in 5 years — roughly 1.4× today's price. Use the calculator above with your own numbers and timeline.
General CPI inflation in India has averaged around 5–6% over the long run, but specific categories differ — education often runs 8–10%, while consumer goods can be lower. This page uses 7% as a sensible default for a wedding; adjust it in the calculator to model best- and worst-case scenarios.
Because you plan and save in today's rupees, but you'll pay in future rupees. If you save toward today's price, you'll fall short. Inflation-adjusting your target is the difference between a plan that works and one that quietly under-funds you.
Turn the future figure into a monthly savings plan, and for long horizons invest rather than hold idle cash — investments that beat inflation grow your real purchasing power. Our savings-goal and SIP calculators turn the number into a monthly contribution.
