Buying power of $13.23 in 2042
This chart shows a calculation of buying power equivalence for $13.23 in 2022 (price index tracking began in 1635).
For example, if you started with $13.23, you would need to end with $15.61 in order to "adjust" for inflation (sometimes refered to as "beating inflation").
Future inflation is estimated at 0.80%.When $13.23 is equivalent to $15.61 over time, that means that the "real value" of a single U.S. dollar decreases over time. In other words, a dollar will pay for fewer items at the store.
This effect explains how inflation erodes the value of a dollar over time. By calculating the value in 2022 dollars, the chart below shows how $13.23 is worth less over 20 years.
