INDwallet lets you experiment with the Education SIP slider. A common rule: estimate future cost (say ₹20L for an Indian engineering degree) and use an 8% return to find the monthly SIP needed. The insight box shows a projected corpus based on your SIP.
Many advisors suggest splitting surplus between both. Use the Education SIP slider to see impact on your savings rate. Later, the Pre‑Retirement stage helps model retirement corpus separately.
Use the combined income slider and expense slider. The chart shows total income vs expenses. For detailed expense tracking, pair this with the Expenses Wallet.
