🏦 Inflation Calculator

About Our Inflation Calculator

The Inflation Calculator helps you understand the time value of money. It estimates how the purchasing power of a certain amount of money changes over time due to inflation. You can calculate either the future value (what a current amount will be worth later) or the past value (what a past amount would be worth today).

How Does It Work?

• Enter Current Amount: Input the amount of money you want to evaluate.
• Enter Annual Inflation Rate: Input the average annual inflation rate in percentage (e.g., 5 for 5%).
• Enter Years:
  • For future value, enter a positive number of years (e.g., 10 for 10 years from now).
  • For past value (i.e., what an amount from 'x' years ago is worth today), enter a negative number of years (e.g., -10 for 10 years ago).
• Calculate: Click the "Calculate" button.
• View Results: The tool will display the adjusted value of money based on the provided inputs.

Formula for Future Value (FV): FV = PV * (1 + r)^n

Formula for Past Value (equivalent to today's PV from a future value): PV = FV / (1 + r)^n

Where PV = Present Value (Current Amount), r = inflation rate per period, n = number of periods (years).

Key Features:

• Calculates both future and past value of money.
• Uses standard inflation calculation formulas.
• Simple and intuitive interface.
• Option to copy results.
• Option to download results as a PDF.

Note: This calculator provides an estimation based on a constant average inflation rate. Actual inflation rates can fluctuate significantly over time.
