Inflation calculator
Inflation erodes the purchasing power of money. The calculator shows what an amount will still be worth in a few years and how much you will then need for the same things.
Result
- Purchasing power at the end in today's money
- Amount needed for the same purchasing power
- Loss of purchasing power
The results are non-binding estimates for guidance only and do not replace tax, legal or investment advice. What counts are your payslip, your tax assessment (Steuerbescheid) and the terms of your contracts.
How it is calculated
Purchasing power = amount ÷ (1 + inflation rate)^years. The amount needed is amount × (1 + inflation rate)^years.
At 2% inflation, purchasing power halves in about 35 years – important for retirement planning and long-term saving.
Frequently asked questions
Where can I find the current inflation rate?
The Federal Statistical Office (Destatis) publishes the consumer price index for Germany every month.
