Buying power of €700 in 2018

This chart shows a calculation of buying power equivalence for €700 in 2018 (price index tracking began in 1954).

For example, if you started with €700, you would need to end with €887.92 in order to "adjust" for inflation (sometimes refered to as "beating inflation").

When €700 is equivalent to €887.92 over time, that means that the "real value" of a single Spanish euro decreases over time. In other words, a euro will pay for fewer items at the store.

This effect explains how inflation erodes the value of a euro over time. By calculating the value in 2018 dollars, the chart below shows how €700 is worth less over 8 years.
