How it works
The amount is compounded by the inflation rate to give a future cost, and divided by the same factor to show today's purchasing power.
Example
$50,000 at 3% inflation costs $77,898 in fifteen years, and that same sum then is worth $32,093 in today's money.

Frequently asked questions
Do these tools use live market data?
No. Nothing is fetched; you enter the prices, rates, and assumptions yourself.
Does the calculator send my numbers anywhere?
No. The calculation runs locally in your browser.
Are projected returns guaranteed?
No. A projection repeats the rate you entered every year, which real markets never do.
