Why Currency Adjustment Matters for US-Based NRIs?

If you're earning dollars in the US and investing in India, your return isn't just the interest rate - it's the interest rate minus whatever the rupee loses against the dollar over that period.

If you're earning dollars in the US and investing in India, your return isn't just the interest rate - it's the interest rate minus whatever the rupee loses against the dollar over that period.

Example: if you invest $10,000 in an NRE Fixed Deposit at 7.5% for 3 years, you'd earn approximately ₹9.3 lakh in returns. But if the rupee depreciates 3.5% annually over those 3 years, your $10,000 converts back to roughly $11,272 — a CAGR of just 4.07% in USD terms. A GIFT City account at 7% in USD, by contrast, gives you $12,250 with no currency conversion at all.

This calculator does that math for you. Every investment option — whether it's an NRE FD, Indian mutual fund, or GIFT City account — gets converted to a final USD value using your chosen depreciation assumption, so you can compare them on equal footing.
