Estimated Increase in your Savings :
Yearly This represents the actual increase in your savings on a year-on-year basis in percentage terms. Usually our savings do not rise as fast as our income since we also tend to spend more, buy more assets, etc. We should assume much lower rate (say 0% to 2%) to be on a safer side.
Expected Rate of Returns :
Yearly

Different asset classes can deliver varying levels of returns for any given investment horizon. The following matrix can help you with the same

Debt Asset Class - Between 7% to 9%.
Ideal investment horizon is very short to medium term (few months to say 5 years)

Equity Asset Class - Between 10% to 15%.
Ideal investment horizon is long to very long term (say over 5 years)

You may partly invest in both to get an appropriate asset allocation for your investment horizon.
Expected Rate of Inflation :
Yearly Inflation is generally inferred from the measure of CPI released by the government agencies. However, this figure is more about representing the price rise in the basket of goods and services used in consumption than the inflation in education costs. We should assume a higher rate of inflation (at least 2 to 5% higher) for education costs, considering the lack of quality education institutions and the growing competition for admissions.
