Understanding Inflation
Inflation is the rate at which the general level of prices for goods and services is rising, and, subsequently, purchasing power is falling.
Purchasing Power
As inflation rises, every dollar you own buys a smaller percentage of a good or service. This calculator helps you visualize how much more money you'll need in the future to maintain your current lifestyle, or how much your money was worth in the past.
Logic & Formulas
The calculator uses the compound interest formula to project values:
Future Value (Forward Projection):
FV = Amount * (1 + Rate)^Years
Past Value (Reverse Projection):
PV = Amount / (1 + Rate)^Years
