Inflation calculator: euros vs rupees

At 4% inflation a year, what costs ₹1,00,000 today costs ₹1,48,024 in 10 years. At 2%, €1,000 becomes €1,219. If you support family in India from Germany, the rupee side grows faster: plan transfers and savings with both rates.

How it's calculated

Prices are assumed to rise by the same percentage every year:

Future cost = today's amount × (1 + inflation)^years
Purchasing power = today's amount ÷ (1 + inflation)^years

Which rates to use

The defaults are the central banks' targets: the European Central Bank aims for 2% inflation in the euro area over the medium term, and the Reserve Bank of India's target is 4% consumer-price inflation, within a band of 2–6%. Actual inflation is often away from target, so try a few rates, for example 6% for India.

Example: money sent home

If you send ₹20,000 a month to your parents today, keeping the same support in 10 years at 4% inflation takes about ₹29,605 a month. At 6% it's about ₹35,817.
