Understanding education funds
High education inflation
Education costs tend to rise faster than general inflation (can be 10%+/year). So the future cost can be far higher than today's price.
Future cost
Today's cost times (1 + education inflation)^years. E.g. Rp100M cost, 10% inflation, 10 years → about Rp259M in the future.
Monthly savings
Computed to accumulate by enrollment, with an assumed investment return, less the future value of funds you've already saved.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate a child's education fund?
Compute future cost = today's cost × (1 + education inflation)^years. Then compute the monthly savings needed with an assumed return, less funds already saved.
Why is education inflation higher?
Education costs (tuition, building fees, books) have historically risen faster than general inflation, often 7–15% per year. This makes early planning very important.
When should I start saving for education?
The earlier the lighter, as compounding works longer and monthly amounts are smaller. Saving from birth is far lighter than a few years before enrollment.
What instruments for an education fund?
It depends on the horizon. Long-term (>5 years) can use growth instruments per your risk profile; near enrollment, shift to safer instruments to preserve value.
Is this estimate certain?
No. It depends on the education inflation and return you assume, which may differ from reality. Review periodically and adjust the target.
