| 494710 | 2006-10-27 02:09:00 | does anybody know of a calculator or web site where you can find out the what a sum of money today would have been worth in years gone by ? (I am looking at the "spiralling" football transfer market in Europe and am wondering whether 1000GBP in 1905 is that different to 46m GBP in todays money). I have treid googling it but am not having too much luck |

As I recall, you can go back to the 19th century, though how accurate this would be, I'm not sure. Come to that, accuracy all round would be marginal. I would only ever take it as an indicator. Doesn't really help you with GBP, though, I'm afraid. www.rbnz.govt.nz P.S. one interesting calculation is to compare 1st division from lotto in 1986, when it started, and the same 1st division in 2006. |
