To keep up with inflation, we can use the formula:
New Salary = Old Salary * (1 + Inflation Rate)^Number of Years
Number of years = 2021 - 2013 = 8 years
New Salary = $55,000 * (1 + 0.02)^8
New Salary = $55,000 * (1.02)^8
New Salary = $55,000 * 1.17161436218
New Salary = $64,435.79392
Therefore, you would need to make $64,435.79 in 2021 to keep up with inflation.
