: Can anyone tell me if there is a "rule of thumb" when calculating future value of money (ie- salary)??
: For instance, if someone made 127k twelve years ago, what would that equate to as a salary today?
: I use the Dept of Labor Statistics showing an average inflation rate of approx 2.6%. Has anyone ever heard of another way to calculate it?
: Only serious replies with sources, please.
127,000 twelve years ago at 2.6% inflation would equal $172,811 today.
