To buy the same product that you could buy for $637100 in 1984, you would need $1816722.23 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:

( 296.276 - 103.9 / 103.9) x 100 = 185.15%

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 $637100 is worth today. We have 38 years between 2022 and 1984. The average inflation rate was 2.7959048730106%.

Plugging in the values into the formula, we get:

637100 (1+ % 2.8/ 100 ) ^ 38 = $1816722.23
