Frequently asked questions
What inflation rate should I use?
Many central banks target about 2%; long-term averages in developed countries are around 2–3%. Recent years have been higher.
How is it calculated?
Future amount = today × (1 + inflation)^years. Purchasing power = today ÷ (1 + inflation)^years.
How do I beat inflation?
Historically, diversified investments (stocks, real estate) have outpaced inflation over long periods, with more short-term volatility than cash.
