Inflation Calculator

See how inflation affects prices over time and how much purchasing power your money loses if it doesn’t grow.

This tool assumes a constant annual inflation rate and compounds it once per year.

How this inflation calculator works

Inflation measures how prices increase over time. If inflation is 3% per year, something that costs $100 today may cost more than $130 in 10 years.

  • Future price: what your chosen amount could cost after inflation.
  • Purchasing power: how much that same amount will “feel like” in today’s dollars.
  • Loss of purchasing power: how much value your money loses if it doesn’t grow.

Use this tool to understand why it’s important for your savings and income to grow at least as fast as inflation in the long run.
