How this Inflation Calculator works
The calculator applies the entered annual inflation rate for each year of the selected period to estimate the future cost of today's amount.
For example, if an item costs 100,000 today, a positive inflation rate means the estimated amount needed to buy the same item in the future will be higher.
Formula: Future Cost = Current Amount × (1 + Inflation Rate)Years
