What is Inflation?
Inflation is the rate at which the general level of prices for goods and services is rising, and subsequently, purchasing power of currency is falling. Central banks attempt to limit inflation, and avoid deflation, in order to keep the economy running smoothly. Our calculator uses historical Consumer Price Index (CPI) data to show this effect over time.
