True Cost of a Purchase Calculator Every rupee spent today is not just that rupee — it is all the future wealth that rupee would have generated if invested. This calculator converts any purchase or spending decision into its future wealth equivalent, making the invisible cost of consumption viscerally clear. It is a behavioural tool as much as a financial one. Examples of use: ‘That Rs.3 lakh car upgrade costs me Rs.29 lakh in retirement wealth.’ ‘My daily Rs.200 coffee habit costs me Rs.93 lakh over 30 years.’ ‘That Rs.50,000 impulse gadget will cost me Rs.4.7 lakh in 20 years.’ Purchase Type One-time PurchaseMonthly RecurringWeekly RecurringDaily Recurring Purchase Amount ₹ ₹500₹10L Purchase Frequency One-timeMonthlyWeeklyDaily Expected Investment Return % 1%30% Time Horizon Y 1 Y30 Y Monthly Income ₹ ₹10K₹10L True Cost ₹0 Opportunity Cost ₹0 Purchase Amount₹0 Total Spent Over Time₹0 Opportunity Cost₹0 True Cost of Purchase₹0 Daily Cost of Wealth₹0 Wealth Multiplier0x Months of Income Equivalent0 months

Sandwich Generation Financial Planner The ‘Sandwich Generation’ refers to individuals — typically aged 35–55 — who are financially supporting both dependent children (education, lifestyle) AND ageing parents (medical expenses, daily care) simultaneously, while trying to save for their own retirement. This is one of the most financially stressed demographic segments in India, and no mainstream calculator addresses it. This planner models three concurrent financial obligations, maps them against monthly income, computes the total monthly financial demand, surfaces the gap, and suggests a prioritised allocation strategy.
