( 296.276 - 124 / 124) x 100 = 138.93%

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 $700600 is worth today. We have 33 years between 2022 and 1989. The average inflation rate was 2.6745651863181%.

Plugging in the values into the formula, we get:

700600 (1+ % 2.67/ 100 ) ^ 33 = $1673959.4
