FAQ
- What formula is used to calculate inflation-adjusted value?
- Future value uses compound growth: FV = Amount x (1 + rate/100)^years. Past equivalent reverses this: PV = Amount / (1 + rate/100)^years. Both mirror how purchasing power shifts over time.
- What inflation rate should I use?
- The US historical average CPI inflation is roughly 3% per year over the long run, though the 2000-2024 average is closer to 2.6%. For other countries, check your national statistics agency for the relevant historical average.
