It's what a given amount of money can actually buy. Even if your savings sit still in cash, inflation erodes what that same dollar amount can purchase over time — this calculator shows both the future cost of today's goods and the future buying power of today's money.
Turn on the comparison option and enter your salary growth rate. If it's above the inflation rate, your real (inflation-adjusted) income is growing; if it's below, your income is losing purchasing power even if the number on your paycheck is going up.
A common long-run assumption is your country's central bank target (often around 2%) or the recent historical average CPI rate. For planning purposes, many planners use a slightly conservative 3% to be cautious.
No — official inflation figures are an average across a basket of goods. Your personal inflation rate can differ significantly based on what you actually spend money on (housing and healthcare have often outpaced average inflation in various periods).
