Buying power of ¥5.10 in 2007

This chart shows a calculation of buying power equivalence for ¥5.10 in 2007 (price index tracking began in 1955).

For example, if you started with ¥5.10, you would need to end with ¥5.80 in order to "adjust" for inflation (sometimes refered to as "beating inflation").

When ¥5.10 is equivalent to ¥5.80 over time, that means that the "real value" of a single Japanese yen decreases over time. In other words, a yen will pay for fewer items at the store.

This effect explains how inflation erodes the value of a yen over time. By calculating the value in 2007 dollars, the chart below shows how ¥5.10 is worth less over 17 years.
