Economics
Inflation Impact Calculator
Calculate how much your money's purchasing power will shrink (or has shrunk) over time at a given annual inflation rate, in either direction. Use it to see what $50,000 today will buy in 20 years, or what $30,000 from 1995 is worth in today's money.

Economics
Compound Interest Calculator
Project the future value of a lump-sum investment when interest is reinvested each year using A = P · (1 + r)ᵗ. The simplest compounding model — assumes annual compounding, a constant rate, and no additional contributions or withdrawals.
