This is a simplified scenario that assumes the entered inflation rate compounds at the same rate each year.
The calculator compounds the annual inflation assumption to estimate the future nominal cost of the same basket, then discounts today's amount by that factor to show its real purchasing power.
Actual inflation varies over time, by location, and by spending category. This calculator applies your chosen assumption and does not forecast future inflation.
