What is a inflation?
An inflation calculator illustrates how rising prices affect the purchasing power of money. Enter an amount, an assumed average annual inflation rate and a number of years to estimate its future equivalent cost and the value of today’s money in future terms.
Formula and calculation method
Future cost = current amount × (1 + annual inflation rate)^years. Purchasing power in today’s units = current amount ÷ (1 + rate)^years.
