Inflation Calculator
This inflation calculator allows you to calculate the buying power in a specified year of any amount of money to an equivalent amount in another year by taking into account the inflation rate between these two years. It supports the following countries: - USA (from 1913 to 2024) - UK (from 1800 to 2024) - France (from 1901 to 2024) - South Korea (from 1965 to 2024) To achieve this, this application uses data from various sources: - USA: Bureau of Labor Statistics (Historical CPI-U), https://www.bls.gov/cpi/ - UK: Office for National Statistics, https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/inflationandpriceindices/timeseries/cdko/mm23 - France: INSEE, https://www.insee.fr/fr/statistiques/serie/010605954 - South Korea: Statistics Korea (Consumer Price Inflation Rate - 소비자물가상승률), https://www.index.go.kr/unity/potal/indicator/PotalIdxSearch.do?idxCd=4226&sttsCd=422601&clas_div=&idx_sys_cd=
My Price Log
My Price Log helps you record prices of products at local stores and compare them. It works entirely offline:You enter a list of stores.You enter a list of products sold at those stores.You enter, update and confirm the prices of those products at those stores as you shop.The app shows you the unit price of a product at all the stores which sell it, allowing you to decide where to buy it.There’s nothing particularly fancy or clever here. It’s a very simple, specialised database with a user interface optimised for easy use when you’re standing in a supermarket aisle with a basket or trolley.The app tracks how old each price is, so you won’t be misled by out-of-date prices. Old prices are indicated by icons and a simplistic inflation adjustment is applied to try to keep them somewhat useful, although for best results you should update the prices yourself. You can view a price’s history if you want to see how it has changed over time.The app will make a recommendation as to whether a price is good, OK or bad if it has enough information. A list of unit prices is also shown so you can decide for yourself.Customer loyalty scheme discounts can be specified for each store and these will be used to adjust the unit price when making a comparison between stores.Unit conversions are handled automatically, both within and between measurement systems. Metric, imperial and US customary units are all supported.
