FAQ
How does this inflation calculator work?+
It applies a constant annual inflation rate you choose, compounding it over the number of years. It projects with an assumed rate rather than using official historical price index data.
What is purchasing power?+
It is how much your money can actually buy. If prices rise, the same amount buys less over time, which is what the purchasing power figure shows.
