Inflation calculator
See what an amount will cost, and what it will be worth, after years of inflation.
About this calculator
Prices rise over time, so the same money buys less. Enter an amount, a yearly inflation rate and a number of years. The calculator shows what the same goods will cost then, and what your amount will really buy in today's money.
Use a rate close to the recent average, such as 2% to 4%.
Common questions
What is a normal inflation rate?
The Bank of England aims for 2% a year. Real figures move up and down.
Why does my money buy less?
Because prices rise faster than the money sits still. Savings need to earn at least the inflation rate to keep their value.
