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 $666300 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:

666300 (1+ % 2.8/ 100 ) ^ 38 = $1899987.48
