About the Inflation Calculator
Inflation steadily reduces what a dollar buys. Even a modest 3% annual rate roughly halves purchasing power in 24 years — a big deal for cash held over decades.
Use this calculator to plan for retirement, college savings, or any long-horizon goal where keeping pace with inflation matters.
