What inflation actually
costs you.
India's official Consumer Price Index is a national average, weighted from a 2011 household consumption survey. It does not represent any individual. Inflect replaces the government's basket weights with your actual behaviour, derived from thirteen questions, and returns a personal inflation rate, the rupee cost of that rate, and a savings correction.
