Frequently Asked Questions
How does the calculation work?
Adjusted Value = Amount × (1 + Rate/100)^Years. This shows what you would need in the future to match today's buying power.
What inflation rate should I use?
Historical US average is about 3% per year. Check current rates from your central bank for accuracy.
Does this account for compound inflation?
Yes — inflation compounds annually, and this calculator reflects that compounding.
