If you had ₹1 in your hand in 1984, its adjusted value for inflation today would be ₹17.87. Put another way, you would need ₹17.87 to beat the rising inflation.

How to calculate the inflated value of ₹1 in 1984
To calculate the change in value between 1984 and today, we use the following inflation rate formula:
CPI Today / CPI in 1984 x Rupee Value in 1984 = Current Rupee Value
By plugging the values into the formula above, we get:
9248.3472/ 517.61 x ₹1 = ₹17.87
To buy the same product that you could buy for ₹1 in 1984, you would need ₹17.87 in 2022.
To calculate the cumulative or total inflation rate in the past 38 years between 1984 and 2022, we use the following formula:
CPI in 2022 - CPI in 1984 / CPI in 1984 x 100 = Cumulative Inflation Rate
By inserting the values to this equation, we get:
( 9248.3472 - 517.61 / 517.61) x 100 = 1686.74%
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 38 years between 2022 and 1984. The average inflation rate was 7.8819992159105%.
Plugging in the values into the formula, we get:
1 (1+ % 7.88/ 100 ) ^ 38 = ₹17.87
