Inflation Calculator (Purchasing Power)
The Inflation Calculator shows how the same nominal amount of money loses real purchasing power over time, or — looking backwards — what an amount from years ago would be worth in today’s rupees, dollars, or euros.
How it works
The future value is calculated as Amount × (1 + inflation)years. Long-run average inflation: India ~6%, US ~3%, UK ~2.5%, Eurozone ~2%. Try a few rates to see how robust your plan is.
Why it matters
Retirement plans, education goals, and salary negotiations all need to factor in inflation. A salary that doesn’t grow at least as fast as inflation is, in real terms, a pay cut.
