Retirement & FIRE
An inflation calculator is a critical tool for understanding the true purchasing power of your money over time. As the cost of goods and services inevitably rises due to macroeconomic factors, the actual value of a currency decreases. This calculator helps you see exactly how much less your money will buy in the future, or how much more a past dollar was worth.
Inflation is driven by complex factors including money supply, production costs, and consumer demand. To combat this, you must invest your money in assets that yield a return higher than the inflation rate, otherwise you are secretly losing wealth every single year.
Future Value = Present Value × (1 + Inflation Rate) ^ Years
