How it is calculated
With p the yearly inflation and y the number of years:
What the same things will cost = amount x (1 + p)^y
What the amount buys, in today's money = amount / (1 + p)^y
Share of buying power lost = 1 - 1 / (1 + p)^y
Each result is rounded to the paisa once.
Assumptions
- Prices rise by 8% a year, the same every year.
- It is the same set of goods and services all the way through.
- This is your own figure, not a forecast. Real inflation changes from year to year.
