Celebrations are goals too
Indian weddings are joyful, significant and expensive, and their costs inflate with everything from venues to gold. Families that fund them comfortably share the same habit as those who fund education well: they named the goal early, priced it in its own year, and let a monthly SIP do the accumulating.
This calculator inflates today's estimated cost to the goal year and computes the SIP that reaches it, so the celebration is paid for by compounding rather than by borrowing at the worst possible moment.
How the calculation works
Future cost = today's cost x (1 + inflation)^years\nRequired SIP = future cost / SIP annuity factor at your expected returnWorked example: a wedding costing Rs 15,00,000 today, 12 years away, at 7% inflation and a 12% return, will cost about Rs 33,78,287; a monthly SIP of about Rs 10,483 funds it fully.
Frequently asked questions
What inflation should I assume for weddings?
7 to 8% is a reasonable base; gold-heavy or destination plans can inflate faster. When in doubt, assume a little more and be pleasantly surprised.
Where should this money be invested?
With many years to go, predominantly equity funds; from about two to three years before the date, shift progressively to debt so market falls cannot touch the celebration.
Should gold be part of this goal?
Where jewellery is a planned component, systematic gold accumulation can hedge that slice of the cost. We size it within the overall plan.
What if the date moves earlier?
Plans survive changes when reviewed yearly. An earlier date means a higher SIP or a trimmed budget; the calculator shows the trade instantly.
