README

Purchasing Power calculates the inflation-adjusted value of money between any two time periods. Find out what $100 from 1990 is worth today, or calculate real returns on investments accounting for inflation.

The Purchasing Power API provides a simple, reliable way to integrate purchasing power functionality into your applications. Built for developers who need production-ready purchasing power capabilities without the complexity of building from scratch.
