Compare purchasing power across years and estimate what an amount is worth after inflation using a simple annual inflation rate.
What this inflation calculator does
This tool estimates how money changes in value between two years using a constant annual inflation rate. It can project forward or discount backward.
Future value vs present value
Future value asks what today鈥檚 money would need to become to keep the same buying power later. Present value asks what a future amount is worth in earlier-year dollars.
Why inflation matters
Even modest inflation compounds over time. That affects budgets, retirement targets, salary expectations, and how you compare prices across years.
