Frequently asked questions
Inflation is the rate at which the general level of prices for goods and services rises over time. It reduces your money's purchasing power, meaning each dollar buys less as time goes on. Understanding inflation is crucial for long-term financial planning.
Historical average inflation in the US is around 2-3% annually. Check recent economic data, central bank reports, or use your country's published inflation rates. For long-term projections, use conservative estimates based on historical averages.
This shows the total percentage of your money's value that inflation has eroded over the time period. For example, if your $1,000 becomes equivalent to $820, you've lost 18% of purchasing power due to inflation.
