Inflation Calculator

Adjust amounts with compounded annual inflation and see the updated price, total increase and remaining buying power.

Use this inflation calculator to update prices, salaries, budgets, contracts and savings targets with a fixed annual inflation rate. It helps estimate how much a number needs to grow over time to keep the same purchasing power.

Enter the base amount, annual rate and number of years. The tool returns the inflation-adjusted value, the total increase caused by inflation, the compound factor and the share of original buying power left if the amount is never adjusted.

This is a quick planning estimate based on one constant rate, which makes it useful for rent reviews, pay discussions, budget planning, product comparisons and simple classroom examples. If your real-world case uses different yearly rates, use the actual series for a more precise calculation.

Fixed annual-rate model. Negative rates simulate deflation; real inflation usually changes from year to year.
