Calculadora de Impacto de la Inflación — Fórmula
## How Inflation Erodes Purchasing Power
Inflation increases the cost of goods over time, meaning each dollar buys less in the future.
### Formula
**Future Equivalent = Amount x (1 + Rate)^Years**
**Purchasing Power = Amount / (1 + Rate)^Years**
The purchasing power formula tells you what your current dollars will be worth in real terms.

Ejemplo Resuelto
$1,000 today with 3% annual inflation over 10 years.
- Inflation multiplier = (1 + 0.03)^10 = 1.3439
- To buy what $1,000 buys today, you will need $1,000 x 1.3439 = $1,343.92
- Purchasing power = $1,000 / 1.3439 = $744.09
- Value lost = $1,000 - $744.09 = $255.91
