How is the Inflation Impact calculated?

We show how inflation changes the value of money over time: what a given amount today will cost in the future, and what today's dollars will be worth then.

What data and assumptions does it use?

Standard compound-inflation math (public domain); the inflation rate is a shown, configurable assumption.
