There are several ways to calculate the time value of money. Depending on the data available, results can be obtained by using the Consumer Price Index (CPI) formula or the compound interest formula.
When we have both the start and end months, we can use the following formula:
To obtain the values equivalent in buying power between January 2020 and May 2022, use the corresponding CPI values:
Given that money changes with time as a result of an inflation rate that acts as compound interest, we can use the following formula: 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, it indicates how much are zł10,000 worth today. There are 28 months between January 2020 and May 2022 and the average inflation rate was 0.6542%. Therefore, we can resolve the formula like this:
