Buying power of ₹1 in 2009

If you had ₹1 in your hand in 2009, its adjusted value for inflation today would be ₹2.55. Put another way, you would need ₹2.55 to beat the rising inflation. When ₹1 becomes equivalent to ₹2.55 over time, the "real value" of a single Indian rupee decreases. In other words, a rupee will pay for fewer items at the store.

This effect explains how inflation gradually erodes the value of a rupee. By calculating the value in 2009 rupees, it's evident how ₹1 loses its worth over 13 years.

How to calculate the inflated value of ₹1 in 2009

To calculate the change in value between 2009 and today, we use the following inflation rate formula:

CPI Today / CPI in 2009 x Rupee Value in 2009 = Current Rupee Value

By plugging the values into the formula above, we get:

9248.3472/ 3629.38 x ₹1 = ₹2.55

To buy the same product that you could buy for ₹1 in 2009, you would need ₹2.55 in 2022.

To calculate the cumulative or total inflation rate in the past 13 years between 2009 and 2022, we use the following formula:

CPI in 2022 - CPI in 2009 / CPI in 2009 x 100 = Cumulative Inflation Rate

By inserting the values to this equation, we get:

( 9248.3472 - 3629.38 / 3629.38) x 100 = 154.82%

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 13 years between 2022 and 2009. The average inflation rate was 7.4604342105596%.

Plugging in the values into the formula, we get:

1 (1+ % 7.46/ 100 ) ^ 13 = ₹2.55
