About Inflation
Inflation measures how much the purchasing power of money decreases over time.
This calculator shows you how much money you would need today to have the same purchasing power as a certain amount in the past.
For example, $100 in 2000 has the same purchasing power as about $175 today with 2.5% average inflation.
