How the inflation calculator works
Inflation raises prices over time, so the same amount of money buys less. This shows both sides: the future price of something that costs your amount today, and how much today\u2019s money will be worth later.
Future cost = Amount × (1 + i)ⁿ · Buying power = Amount ÷ (1 + i)ⁿ
