Frequently Asked Questions
How is inflation calculated?
The calculator uses compound growth: future value = present value × (1 + inflation rate)years.
What if inflation changes every year?
This calculator assumes a constant annual rate. If your expected inflation changes year by year, calculate the periods separately and combine the results.
Why does this matter for savings?
Because your savings must grow faster than inflation to preserve purchasing power. Otherwise, the same amount buys less in the future.
