Inflation represents the general increase in prices of goods and services over time, resulting in a continuous decrease in the purchasing power of money.
The fundamental economic equations computed by this tool are:
\(\text{Future Price of Goods} = P \times \left(1 + \frac{r}{100}\right)^n\)
\(\text{Future Purchasing Power} = \frac{P}{\left(1 + \frac{r}{100}\right)^n}\)
\(\text{Cumulative Price Increase (\%)} = \left[\left(\frac{\text{Future Price}}{P}\right) - 1\right] \times 100\)
To protect long-term wealth against inflation decay, financial advisors recommend investing in assets yielding returns higher than prevailing inflation rates.
