Inflation significantly reduces the purchasing power of money over time, so the amount that appears substantial now might not be enough in the coming years. The value of any investment does not remain the same always. It either decreases or increases due to interest rate, inflation/deflation which increases/ decreases the value of money. The impact of annual inflation erodes the purchasing power of money significantly with each passing year. Investors need to account for the effects of inflation on their future financial goals.

This is known as calculating the future value of the goal.
