finance.retirement-inflation-erosion Calculator
Calculates how inflation erodes the real purchasing power of a fixed retirement income stream over time from inflation rate and income amount. A 3% inflation rate halves purchasing power in 24 years — a $50,000/year retirement income has the purchasing power of $25,000 at age 90 if started at 66.
Inputs
Savings
Rate of charge flow (A). I = V/R. Above ~100 mA through the body can be lethal. Fuses protect against overcurrent.
Rate
Annual rate at which purchasing power erodes. Real return = nominal return minus inflation. At 3% inflation, your money halves in purchasing power in about 24 years.
Years
Reference formula or conversion factor shown for context.
Results
future real value
The computed numeric or monetary value.
purchasing power lost
LOS (length of stay) -- the number of days from admission to discharge. A key hospital efficiency metric.
erosion %
Sample size or count used in the calculation.
required nominal growth
The absolute increase in value over the period. Growth = final value minus initial value.
