Frequently Asked Questions
What is CPI?
The Consumer Price Index measures the average change in prices over time that consumers pay for a basket of goods and services.
Why does the calculator only go to 2024?
Historical CPI data is used for accuracy. We will update with newer data as annual figures are published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
How does inflation affect my savings?
Inflation erodes purchasing power over time. If your savings earn less than the inflation rate, your real return is negative, meaning you can buy less in the future even though your account balance grew.
