How are costs in another country projected?
A row in another of Nivritee’s eleven markets is converted at today’s rate, grows at that country’s own inflation, and drifts with the inflation gap between the two countries.
Your plan reports in one currency — that of the country you will be living in — but its rows can be in other countries and currencies. A cost, income or goal that names another country is handled in three steps.
- Converted once, today. The figure you typed is converted into your plan’s currency at today’s exchange rate. Nobody can predict future rates, so no forecast is made.
- Grown at that country’s rates. If the country is one of Nivritee’s eleven markets and not your plan’s own, the row rises at that country’s inflation for its kind — general, medical or education. Income abroad grows at that country’s income growth.
- Adjusted for the inflation gap. Each year the converted figure also moves by the difference between your plan country’s general inflation and that country’s. This follows relative purchasing-power parity — the exchange-rate path that predicts nothing beyond inflation.
When a row keeps your plan’s own rates
- It names no country, or your plan’s own country.
- It names a country outside Nivritee’s eleven markets. The illustrative household’s rent, school fees and living costs in Dubai are in dirhams, but the United Arab Emirates is not one of the eleven, so they rise at India’s rates — and they end by the move anyway: the school fees at 52, the rest at the move.
- Your investments: a market price already includes the exchange rate, so held assets never drift.
