It uses the same monthly-compounding engine every SIP/lumpsum calculator on this site shares — the difference from simple annual compounding is small at typical inflation rates, but it keeps every projection on this site internally consistent.

6-7% is a commonly-cited long-run figure for India's general CPI. Costs that matter to you specifically — education, healthcare, housing — often run higher; this calculator's rate is fully editable so you can model your own category.

Two directions, one number

"What will X cost later" and "what is a future X worth today" are the same compounding relationship read in opposite directions — this calculator answers whichever one you actually need, using the amount you enter as either a today-value or a future-value input.
