Methodology & data sources
Methodology
Start rate is the RBI financial-year average for the year you pick. End rate is either another FY average or the live USD/INR from the same market snapshot as Market Trends and the tools ticker. If live is unavailable, the last monthly average on the USD to INR dataset is used. Depreciation = (EndRate / StartRate − 1) × 100. CAGR = ((EndRate / StartRate)^(1/years) − 1) × 100. Dollar purchasing power is Amount / Rate. “If converted to USD” revalues the start-year dollar amount at the end rate — currency movement only, no investment return.
Data sources
- Yearly USD/INR: RBI Handbook of Statistics, average ₹ per USD. Last completed FY: 2025-26.
- Latest: Live USD/INR ₹95.89 (same snapshot as Market Trends).
Frequently asked questions
Understanding rupee depreciation
The Indian rupee’s value relative to the US dollar affects import costs, external debt servicing, and how far Indian savings go abroad. History uses the same RBI Handbook averages as our USD to INR dataset. Latest uses the live USD/INR from Market Trends, the same snapshot that powered the tools ticker.
Total depreciation is the percentage change in ₹ per dollar. CAGR expresses that as an annualised rate. Dollar purchasing power answers a simpler question: if you held a fixed amount in rupees, how many dollars could you buy then versus now? A decline in that dollar amount is rupee depreciation. For inflation-adjusted wealth context, compare this with the Gold vs Nifty vs FD.
The “if converted” figure is opportunity cost in rupees: dollars bought at the start, still sitting as cash, valued at the end rate. It is not an investment recommendation. You can explore more decision tools in the tools library.
