OpenAbout Inflation & Economy calculators
Inflation quietly erodes the value of money over time, and these calculators make that effect visible. See how purchasing power changes, what a future sum is worth today, and how prices grow over the years.
Use the inflation and purchasing-power tools to see what your money will really be worth in future, and the present and future value calculators to compare sums across time on a like-for-like basis. Planning for a goal years away? Adjusting for inflation is the difference between a target that works and one that falls short.
Inflation & Economy calculators: frequently asked questions
How does inflation affect my savings?
If your savings grow more slowly than prices rise, their real value falls even as the balance goes up. That is why a low-interest account can lose purchasing power. The inflation calculator shows what a sum will be worth in real terms over time.
What is the time value of money?
It is the idea that a sum today is worth more than the same sum in the future, because today's money can be invested and grow. The present and future value calculators convert between the two so you can compare amounts fairly across time.
How do I adjust a future goal for inflation?
Increase the target by expected inflation for each year until you need it, so you save toward the real future cost rather than today's price. The future cost calculator does this projection from a current amount and an inflation rate.
