FAQs

It estimates the inflation rate you personally experience based on your actual monthly spending across categories like food, housing, transport, and healthcare, instead of the fixed national basket used for India's official CPI inflation.

India's CPI inflation is a national average built from a fixed basket of goods and services. Your spending mix, location, and lifestyle can differ significantly from that average, so your personal rate can be higher or lower than the headline number.

You'll need your state, monthly household income, profession, age group, household size, and a rough breakdown of your monthly spending across common categories such as food, housing, and transport.

We recommend recalculating every few months, or whenever your income, location, or spending pattern changes meaningfully, so your result continues to reflect your actual cost of living.
