The first column indicates the rise in price level which is 2%
per year.
The nominal income would rise by the price level if it is indexed
at 2%
Year 2006 = 25000
Year 2007,
Price Level = 100 * 1.02 = 102
Nominal Income = 25000 * 1.02 = 25500
Real income is adjusted for the change in price level
(100 * 25500) / 102 = 25000
If the nominal income is indexed at 3%
Year 2007
Price level = 100 * 1.02 = 102
Nominal Income = 25000 * 1.03 = 25750
Real income is adjusted for change in price level
(100 * 25750) / 102 = 25245.10
So we can create a table for the values
Year | CPI | Nominal @ 2% | Real Benefits | Nominal @ 3% | Real Benefits |
