Cost of Delay Calculator
Inaction is the single biggest destroyer of personal wealth. This calculator makes procrastination expensive and visible by answering: ‘What does it cost me in rupees to wait 1, 3, or 5 years before starting?’ It applies to three scenarios:
- Scenario A — Delaying a SIP: Starting a monthly SIP later than planned.
- Scenario B — Delaying an Insurance Purchase: The increasing premium cost and the risk exposure window of not having cover.
- Scenario C — Delaying a Loan Prepayment: The extra interest paid by not prepaying today.
The output is always a single, concrete rupee number: ‘Waiting 3 years costs you Rs.X,XX,XXX.’
