Real Return

[yankees60]

So as to create a real return does anyone favor a "CPI Inflation Calculator" over this one?

Asking again to see if I get any response this time around.

CPI calc is very good. To get real return, you don't do subtraction. It's a ratio.

NOT THIS RR = NR - IR

THIS

1+RR/100 = (1+NR/100)/(1+IR/100)

IR inflation rate, NR nominal return, RR real return all in %

The wrong way is close, but not exact.
