About this tool
Estimate how inflation erodes money over time: the future amount needed to buy the same goods, and how much purchasing power the original sum loses. It is computed live in your browser.
Frequently asked questions
What is the future equivalent value?
It is the amount you would need in the future to buy what your money buys today, found by compounding the amount by the inflation rate over the chosen number of years.
What does lost purchasing power mean?
It is how much real value the original amount loses, equal to the amount today minus what that same amount can still buy after inflation.
