Inflation Calculator
What will things cost in the future — and what is my money really worth?
Inflation quietly raises prices every year. Use your country’s inflation rate to see the future cost of today’s expenses and how much buying power cash loses.
How this calculator works
Future cost = amount × (1 + inflation)^years. Future buying power = amount ÷ (1 + inflation)^years — what today’s money will be worth in today’s terms.
Frequently asked questions
Which inflation rate should I use?
Use your country’s recent average consumer price inflation, published by its central bank or statistics office. Long-term averages are more reliable than a single year.
How do I protect savings from inflation?
Keep only short-term money in cash and invest long-term money in assets that have historically grown faster than inflation.
