Adjusting stock market return for inflation
The nominal return on investment of $100 is $74,734.57, or 74,734.57%. This means by 2021 you would have $74,834.57 in your pocket.
However, it's important to take into account the effect of inflation when considering an investment and especially a long-term investment. You can convert S&P returns to their real (inflation-adjusted) value using an inflation calculation based on the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price Index (CPI).
In the case of the returns described above, the CPI in 1955 was 26.800 and the CPI in 2021 was 271.696.
The ratio between these CPIs describes how relative buying power of a dollar has changed over 66 years.
Adjusted for inflation, the $74,834.57 nominal end value of the original $100 investment would have a real value of roughly $7,281.66 in 1955 dollars. This means the inflation-adjusted return is 7,281.66% as opposed to the original 74,734.57%.
