What Is Buying Power?

Buying power shows how much money is worth after inflation has reduced its value.

• Higher inflation reduces buying power
• Prices usually rise over time
• Savings may lose value if interest is lower than inflation
• Future costs can be estimated using an inflation rate
• Real inflation changes each year

Inflation Calculator Formula

To estimate future cost after inflation:

Future Cost = Starting Amount × (1 + Inflation Rate)^Years
