What is inflation?
It is an increase in the exchange rate of the currency value, which leads to an increase in the cost of goods, and leads to a depreciation of your savings. To put it simply, if today you have an average of $100 to buy an item, then a term of a year from now you will have to shell out $110, for example.
When we receive our salary in the national currency, we prefer to use foreign currency to save our savings. Why do we do this? It's how we try to protect our money from inflation, which is much higher in the national currency than in the dollar, when prices change. That doesn't mean that the dollar doesn't depreciate, it just does it much more slowly, rising prices for housing, food, necessities and mortgages. The key instrument for measuring inflation in the U.S. is the Composite Consumer Price Index (CPI). In order to determine the size and statistics of inflation in dollars in our bureau, we have created a service, the Dollar Inflation Calculator.
What the calculator shows
- With the help of the calculator you can visually see how much your money "eats up" inflation for a selected period of time;
- The inflation calculator allows you to estimate your current losses in the currency in the absence of investment;
- It allows you to compare the real size of your inflation losses if the monetary calculation was not made or not made on time. At the base, if your paycheck has been delayed, you can claim inflation losses for your labor.
How to calculate inflation
- Use the slider to select the amount by which inflation will be charged;
- In the window with the dates you enter the time period;
- The result of the calculation is displayed on the right. The data on losses is displayed with a minus sign in the numeric and percentage equivalent taking into account deflation.
The dollar inflation index is calculated by multiplying the monthly and annual price increases, inflation_adjusted for the United States.
