Inflation Calculator
Project a constant-inflation scenario for future price and purchasing-power equivalent.
How to use
- Enter current amount, annual inflation rate, and years.
Capabilities and scope
It assumes one annual price-change rate repeats and compounds every year.
How it works
factor=(1+rate/100)^years; future=amount×factor; purchasing equivalent=amount/factor.
Example
1,000,000 at 3% for 10 years gives a future same-item price around 1.34 million.
Useful for
- Compare long-term budget inflation scenarios
Before you use it
