  • Optional inflation adjustment at 6% by default
  • No taxes, loads, or fees included unless you add them manually

How to read the result

At 8%, the gap between future value and today’s value narrows, underscoring how inflation and lower returns reduce purchasing power. Extend the tenure or increase the SIP to reach the same goal.

If inflation stays near 6%, real returns at 8% leave a thin cushion. Keep Reality check on to stay realistic about the corpus.
