Understanding Marriage Planning Calculator
Wedding expenses in India often include venue, catering, clothing, travel, and jewellery. Costs tend to rise with inflation, so a goal-based savings plan helps you avoid last-minute loans.
How this calculator works
The calculator takes today’s wedding and gold budget, inflates it to the expected marriage year, grows any existing marriage fund, and shows the monthly SIP or one-time investment required to close the gap.
Example
A ₹15 lakh ceremony budget plus ₹5 lakh jewellery today for an 8-year-old expected to marry at 25 can become a substantially larger future goal after 7% inflation — making early SIPs far more affordable than saving in the final few years.
Practical tips
- Keep gold and ceremony budgets separate so you can prioritise if needed.
- Avoid funding weddings entirely with personal loans when possible.
- Review the goal every 2–3 years as family preferences change.
Limitations
Cultural preferences and city costs differ. Use this as a starting estimate, then refine with a financial planner.
