Finance Calculator · UK
What is £X worth in today's money — or in the future?
Inflation erodes the purchasing power of money over time. £10,000 in 2000 is worth around £19,500 in 2025 terms — meaning you'd need nearly double the cash to buy the same goods and services. The Bank of England targets 2% annual CPI inflation, though the UK saw inflation spike to 11.1% in October 2022, the highest in 40 years.
This calculator works in both directions: find out what a past sum is worth today, or project what today's money will be worth in future at a chosen inflation rate. It's especially useful for long-term financial planning — pension projections, savings targets, and salary negotiations all benefit from inflation-adjusted thinking.
To protect your savings from inflation, consider our Compound Interest Calculator to find rates that outpace it, or our Investment Return Calculator to model real returns.
