How do I adjust money for inflation?

Adjusted value = past amount × (1 + inflation rate)^years. $1,000 at 3% inflation over 10 years = $1,000 × 1.03^10 ≈ $1,344.

What is a typical inflation rate?

Central banks target ~2% annually. Actual rates vary by country and year, from near zero to double digits during high-inflation periods.

Why does inflation matter for savings?

Inflation reduces the real value of money. If your savings earn less than inflation, your purchasing power declines even as the nominal balance grows.
