This calculator can convert dollar amounts from any year to any other year, forward or backwards. I have used it dozens of times. For example I discovered that what I made when I started teaching/coaching in 1968 was almost the exact same amount, adjusted for inflation, that I made my last year of teaching/coaching in 1982 Try it, It's fun and fascinating.
