Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the free online inflation calculator.
It grows or discounts an amount between two years using the average annual rate you enter, so
you can compare money across time.
Use a long run average for your country. Around two to three percent a year is common in many
developed economies.
Buying power is what an amount of money can actually purchase. When prices rise the same
amount buys less than it did before.
Yes. Set the end year earlier than the start year and the tool discounts the amount instead
of growing it forward.
Inflation means prices rise, so a fixed amount of cash buys fewer goods and services as the
years pass by.
No. Official indices track a specific basket of goods, so your own personal inflation rate
can differ from the national average.
A negative rate models deflation, where prices fall and money buys more over time. The tool
handles that case as well.
Yes. It is completely free and unlimited, with no account, no sign-up and no tracking of
anything you enter.
