3 Mistakes People Make With Savings Goal Calculators

  1. Not adjusting for inflation

    Today's ₹20 lakh is not enough after 15 years

    Always inflate your target first

  2. Using 15%+ returns

    No calculator can guarantee this

    Stick to 10-12% for equity, 6-7% for debt

  3. Forgetting existing savings

    Already have ₹1 lakh saved? Enter it

    Monthly requirement drops significantly

Use a savings goal calculator correctly. Avoid these errors.
