Marriage Planning Formulas

Formulas to estimate future marriage costs and calculate required savings.

Future Cost = Present Cost × (1 + Inflation Rate)^Years

Example:

Current cost of ₹10,00,000 with 5% inflation for 8 years

10,00,000 × (1 + 0.05)^8
= ₹14,77,455

Variables:

Present Cost - Current estimated marriage cost
Inflation Rate - Expected annual inflation rate (as decimal)
Years - Number of years until marriage

SIP = Future Cost / [((1 + r)^n - 1) / r] × (1 + r)

Example:

To accumulate ₹14,77,455 in 8 years with 10% annual return

14,77,455 / [((1 + 0.10/12)^(8*12) - 1) / (0.10/12)] × (1 + 0.10/12)
= ₹10,000

Variables:

Future Cost - Target future marriage cost
r - Monthly return rate (Annual rate ÷ 12)
n - Total number of months for investment

These formulas provide the mathematical foundation for the calculations. Actual results may vary based on rounding, compounding frequency, and specific lender policies.
