How it works
The tool compounds your inflation rate over the number of years, multiplying prices by (1 + rate) to the power of years and dividing today's amount by the same factor to show lost purchasing power.
Frequently asked questions
What inflation rate should I use?
Long-run targets in most developed economies sit near 2-3% a year; use a higher figure for volatile economies.
Why does my money buy less?
If prices rise 3% a year, the same note buys about 26% less after ten years even though its face value is unchanged.
