About this calculator
An inflation calculator helps you understand how rising prices can affect the future cost of goods, services, and everyday expenses.
Enter the current amount, expected annual inflation rate, and number of years to estimate how much the same amount may cost in the future.
The calculator also estimates the future purchasing power of today's money. Actual inflation can vary over time and across different goods and services, so the result is an estimate based on a constant annual inflation rate.
Frequently asked questions
What is an inflation calculator?
An inflation calculator estimates how inflation may affect the future cost of goods and services and the purchasing power of money over time.
How is future cost calculated?
Future cost is calculated by multiplying the current amount by (1 + annual inflation rate) raised to the number of years.
What happens when inflation increases?
A higher inflation rate generally means prices increase faster, so the same amount of money may buy fewer goods and services in the future.
What is purchasing power?
Purchasing power represents how much today's amount would be worth in terms of what it can buy after accounting for inflation over the selected period.
Is the inflation calculator result exact?
No. It is an estimate based on a constant annual inflation rate. Actual inflation can change from year to year and can differ between products, services, and locations.
