The Greedflation Price Check Calculator compares current product prices to inflation-adjusted reference prices to identify excess increases attributable to corporate profit margins rather than input costs. Inflation-adjusted price = old price × (1 + inflation rate)^years. Anything above is potential greedflation. Useful for consumers, journalists, and policy analysts.

공식

Inflation-Adjusted = Old Price × (1 + Inflation)^Years; Excess = Current − Inflation-Adjusted

r: Inflation Rate (%/year) — Annual inflation rate
