Inflation Calculator
See what an amount of money will be worth in future years at a given inflation rate.
See how inflation erodes the value of money over time. Enter an amount, an inflation rate and a number of years, and the tool shows how much you would need in the future to match today's buying power. To simply preserve your buying power, your savings must grow at least as fast as inflation.
Compare inflation against potential growth with the compound interest calculator.

Multiply today's amount by (1 + rate)^years. Enter the three values and the tool computes it.
How can I beat inflation?
Your money needs to grow at least as fast as inflation, which is why people invest rather than hold idle cash.
