Frequently asked questions
What does inflation do to future costs?
At a positive constant inflation assumption, an amount can require more rand in the future to represent the same purchasing need.
Is the inflation rate guaranteed?
No. The entered rate is a scenario assumption and actual inflation can vary over time and across categories.
Does this calculate real investment returns?
No. It estimates a future nominal cost from the inflation assumption; it does not model investment performance.
