How to calculate the inflated value of ₹1 in 1982
To calculate the change in value between 1982 and today, we use the following inflation rate formula:
CPI Today / CPI in 1982 x Rupee Value in 1982 = Current Rupee Value
By plugging the values into the formula above, we get:
9248.3472/ 425.44 x ₹1 = ₹21.74
To buy the same product that you could buy for ₹1 in 1982, you would need ₹21.74 in 2022.
To calculate the cumulative or total inflation rate in the past 40 years between 1982 and 2022, we use the following formula:
CPI in 2022 - CPI in 1982 / CPI in 1982 x 100 = Cumulative Inflation Rate
By inserting the values to this equation, we get:
( 9248.3472 - 425.44 / 425.44) x 100 = 2073.83%
Alternate method to calculate today's value of money after inflation - Using compound interest formula
Given that money changes over time due to inflation, which acts as compound interest, we can use the following formula:
FV = PV (1+i/100)^n
where,
- FV = Future value
- PV = Present value
- i: Average interest rate (inflation)
- n: Number of times the interest is compounded (i.e. # of years)
The future value in this case represents the amount obtained after applying the inflation rate to our initial value. In other words, it indicates how much ₹1 is worth today. We have 40 years between 2022 and 1982. The average inflation rate was 8.0017133269946%.
Plugging in the values into the formula, we get:
1 (1+ % 8/ 100 ) ^ 40 = ₹21.74
