Education costs in India have historically risen faster than general consumer inflation, particularly for professional courses and study abroad - which is why this planner uses education-specific cost assumptions rather than treating it like any other expense goal.

Enter your child's current age, the age at which the expense will fall due (say, 18 for undergraduate study), and the current cost of the course you have in mind, and the calculator projects the future cost at that inflated rate along with the SIP needed to fund it.

A child's age gives you an unusually precise, fixed countdown compared to most financial goals, which makes starting early especially valuable here - a common approach is to stay growth-oriented in the early years while the timeline is long, then gradually shift the accumulated amount into more stable instruments in the two or three years before the money is actually needed, so a market dip right before admission season doesn't disrupt the plan.
