There are several ways to calculate the time value of money. Depending on the data available, results can be obtained by using the compound interest formula or the Consumer Price Index (CPI) formula.
Given that money changes with time as a result of an inflation rate that acts as a compound interest, the following formula can be used: FV = PV (1 + i)n, where:
In this case, the future value represents the final amount obtained after applying the inflation rate to our initial value. In other words, the future value is the amount in 2021 that equals $100 in 1958 in terms of purchasing power. There are 63 years between 1958 and 2021 and the average inflation rate was 7.2896%. Therefore, we can resolve the formula like this:
FV = PV (1 + i)n = $100 * (1 + 0.072896)63 = $8,416.466526 ≈ $8,416.47
When the CPI for both start and end years is known, the following formula can be used:
In this case, the CPI in 1958 was 1.56 and in 2021 was 130.89. Therefore,
