Planning in today's money and inflating at the end keeps goals realistic.
Frequently asked questions
Is CPI the right figure for me?
CPI tracks an average basket. Your own costs — school fees, healthcare, rent — may rise faster or slower.
Why use a steady rate?
For long horizons a steady assumption is simpler and avoids false precision.
