How the calculator works
Inflation compounds: each year’s increase applies to a price that has already risen. At 4.5% a year, prices roughly double in 16 years.
The same arithmetic, run backwards, shows what money you receive later is worth today. That is why a retirement plan aims for an income in today’s money, not a fixed number.
The calculator uses the same inflation rate every year. Actual inflation varies from year to year, and the prices you pay can rise faster or slower than the average.
