Pick where you live and an amount. See what it is worth now, after inflation, held as cash, as dollars, euros or yuan, as gold or silver, or in the bank — and what it could become at rates you set.

The next 10 years

At rates you set — nobody knows these. Start from neutral rates, which forecast nothing (other currencies move with the gap between inflation rates, metals keep pace with prices, the deposit pays the assumed local rate), or from what each holding actually did over the last 10 years.

What this leaves out

  • Metal prices are World Bank averages: no dealer spread, storage or insurance. Coins and bars cost more to buy than they fetch when sold.
  • Foreign currency is held as cash and earns nothing. Deposits use the average rate the World Bank publishes, rolled over once a year — your bank’s rate will differ.
  • Exchange rates are official. Where a street rate ran above the official one, buying foreign currency cost more than shown.
  • Nothing here is advice. It is arithmetic on published figures.
