How the Education Fund Simulator WorksThree simple steps to your target number
  • Future cost: Adjusted for education inflation (typically 8-10% in India). Even a ₹3L/year course today can become ₹8L+ in a decade.
  • Projected corpus: Your current savings + monthly SIP growing at your expected return rate. Use the sliders to model different scenarios.
  • Required SIP: The monthly investment needed to bridge any shortfall. This is your action number — start this SIP today.
📖
Your education fund storyBased on current inputs
  • Future cost: ₹50,00,000 (at 8% inflation over 10 years).
  • Projected corpus: ₹32,00,000 (current savings + SIP).
  • Status: Shortfall of ₹18,00,000. Required SIP: ₹8,200/mo.
Education planning best practices for India
  • Start early: A 5-year head start can halve the required SIP.
  • Increase SIP annually: Top-up by 5-10% each year to stay ahead of inflation.
  • Use equity for long-term: For goals >7 years, equity mutual funds offer better inflation-beating returns.
  • Review annually: Recalculate at every salary hike or bonus to stay on track.
  • Protect with insurance: Ensure the goal is funded even if something happens to you — use the Insurance Pro Simulator.
  • Track in wallets: Use the Investment Wallet to monitor your SIPs and corpus.
  • Avoid education loans if possible: They start with a burden. Save first, borrow only as a last resort.

🎓 Education Planning
Use the sliders above to find your target. A typical 4-year engineering degree costs ₹15-25L today; with 8% inflation it could be ₹50L+ in 10 years. Always model with the simulator before committing to a savings plan.
For goals 10+ years away, equity mutual funds historically return 10-12%. Use 8-10% for a conservative estimate. The simulator lets you adjust this — try different rates to see the impact on your required SIP.
Education costs in India have been rising at 8-10% annually, significantly higher than general CPI inflation (5-6%). For professional courses and abroad education, use 10-12% to be safe.
📊 Investment Strategy
For most parents, a monthly SIP is the practical choice — it matches cash flow and benefits from rupee-cost averaging. If you have a large bonus or inheritance, you can combine both. Use the SIP vs Lumpsum Simulator to compare.
For goals more than 7 years away, equity funds offer the best inflation-beating returns. PPF and SSY are safe but their returns (7-8%) barely match education inflation. A mix of equity (70-80%) and debt (20-30%) works well for 10+ year horizons.
📘 General
At least once a year — ideally when you get a salary hike or bonus. The simulator is always free, so you can adjust your plan as your income and goals evolve.
The Education Fund Simulator tells you “how much.” Use the Investment Wallet to track your actual SIPs and corpus, and the Wealth Wallet to monitor your overall net worth as you save for your child’s future.
