Buying power of $30,600 in 2050

This chart shows a calculation of buying power equivalence for $30,600 in 2018 (price index tracking began in 1914).

For example, if you started with $30,600, you would need to end with $60,964.19 in order to "adjust" for inflation (sometimes refered to as "beating inflation").

Future inflation is estimated at 2.00%.

When $30,600 is equivalent to $60,964.19 over time, that means that the "real value" of a single Canadian dollar decreases over time. In other words, a dollar will pay for fewer items at the store.

This effect explains how inflation erodes the value of a dollar over time. By calculating the value in 2018 dollars, the chart below shows how $30,600 is worth less over 32 years.
