• Future Value: What will your money be worth in the future?
• Present Value: What was money worth in the past?
• Purchasing Power Loss: How much buying power will you lose?

Historical Inflation Rates:

• Low Inflation: 1-3% annually (target for most central banks)
• Moderate Inflation: 3-5% annually (common in growing economies)
• High Inflation: 5-10% annually (concerning but manageable)
• Hyperinflation: 10%+ monthly (economic crisis)
