Frequently Asked Questions
What inflation rate should I use?
Inflation varies by place, period and consumption pattern. Enter a rate from the statistical series relevant to your scenario and compare several inputs instead of treating one historical average or policy objective as universal.
How is purchasing power calculated?
Past value divides the amount by one plus the entered annual rate, compounded over the selected years. Future value applies the same compounding in the other direction. The calculator does not supply or predict the rate.
