Buying power of $30,000 in 2025
This chart shows a calculation of buying power equivalence for $30,000 in 2000 (price index tracking began in 1635).
For example, if you started with $30,000, you would need to end with $55,602.99 in order to "adjust" for inflation (sometimes refered to as "beating inflation").
Future inflation is estimated at 3.00%.When $30,000 is equivalent to $55,602.99 over time, that means that the "real value" of a single U.S. dollar decreases over time. In other words, a dollar will pay for fewer items at the store.
This effect explains how inflation erodes the value of a dollar over time. By calculating the value in 2000 dollars, the chart below shows how $30,000 is worth less over 25 years.
