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

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.
