Adjusting Dow Jones returns for inflation

The nominal return on investment of $100 is $1,337.66, or 1,337.66%. This means by March 2026 you would have $1,437.66.

However, it is important to take inflation into account when evaluating a long-term investment. You can convert these returns to their real value using an inflation calculation based on the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price Index (CPI).

In this case, the CPI in January 1992 was 138.100 and the CPI in March 2026 was 330.213.

Adjusted for inflation, the $1,437.66 nominal end value would have a real return of roughly $501.25 in 1992 dollars. This means the inflation-adjusted return is 501.25% as opposed to the original 1,337.66%.

Dow Jones dollar-cost averaging

Dollar-cost averaging is an alternative to investing the full lump-sum of $100 up front. Instead, the capital is invested over a period of time.

Consider a strategy in which $100 was invested in Dow Jones Industrial Average over a period of no more than 24 months beginning in 1992. This would result in a final amount of $1,367.30. In this particular case, dollar-cost average returns are less than the returns of a lump-sum investment (which ends with $1,437.66).
