How it works
The formula
Real future value = amount ÷ (1 + inflation)^years. Future cost = amount × (1 + inflation)^years.
Savings back home
Inflation in countries like Egypt, Pakistan or India has often been much higher than in the Gulf. Money saved in those currencies can lose value fast — check it with a higher rate.
