ESB Professional / Shutterstock.com. Real value of $100: $88.57. Definition: The nominal value of a good is its value in terms of money. The real value is its value in terms of some other good, service, or bundle of goods. Examples: Nominal: That CD costs $18. Japan’s science and technology spending is about 3 trillion yen per year. Real: A year of college costs about the value of a Toyota Camry. E In economics, nominal value is measured in terms of money, whereas real value is measured against goods or services. A real value is one which has been adjusted for inflation, enabling comparison of quantities as if the prices of goods had not changed on average. Changes in value in real terms therefore exclude the effect of inflation. The future value of a single cash flow is the real value of a particular sum of money in future. For example, if a project needs an investment of Rs1,000 at present, and would yield return at the rate of 5% after one year starting from the current date.

Buying power of $1 in 1860

This chart shows a calculation of buying power equivalence for $1 in 1860 (price index tracking began in 1635).

For example, if you started with $1, you would need to end with $32.73 in order to 'adjust' for inflation (sometimes refered to as 'beating inflation').

When $1 is equivalent to $32.73 over time, that means that the 'real value' of a single U.S. dollar decreases over time. In other words, a dollar will pay for fewer items at the store.

This effect explains how inflation erodes the value of a dollar over time. By calculating the value in 1860 dollars, the chart below shows how $1 is worth less over 161 years.
