Formula
Future cost compounds the selected inflation rate, while future purchasing power discounts today’s amount by the same rate.
The model assumes one constant inflation rate. Real inflation varies by year and spending category.
Editable rates, growth assumptions, prices, fees, and percentages are planning inputs unless the calculator explicitly identifies a current source.
