A salary inflation calculator shows the real purchasing power of a salary over time by adjusting for inflation. A salary of $50,000 in 2010 would need to be ~$72,000 in 2023 to have the same purchasing power (using ~3% average inflation).
💡
Pro Tip
When negotiating salary, ask for raises above inflation to get a real increase. A 3% raise in a 5% inflation environment means you're earning less in real terms than last year.
