Inflation Calculator
See how much a sum will be worth in the future at a given inflation rate.
Future nominal value$1,343.92
Future buying power of today's amount$744.09
Total inflation over period34.4%
To grow a price with inflation, future value = present × (1 + rate ÷ 100)ʸᵉᵃʳˢ. At 3% inflation, $1,000 of goods costs ≈ $1,343.92 after 10 years (≈ 34.4% total inflation). The flip side: today's $1,000 will only buy what ≈ $744.09 buys now — its real purchasing power shrinks at the same compound rate.

Questions
How is future value with inflation calculated?
Compound the amount: future = present × (1 + rate ÷ 100) to the power of the number of years. $1,000 at 3% for 10 years grows to about $1,344.
What is the difference between the two figures?
The first shows what a price grows to as costs rise; the second shows how much your fixed $1,000 will actually buy after inflation eats into its purchasing power.
