Understanding Nominal vs. Real Growth
Nominal Future Value is the actual dollar amount you would see in your bank account in the future. It doesn't account for the fact that prices for goods and services will likely be higher then.
Adjusted (Real) Future Value uses the inflation rate to "discount" that future amount back to today's purchasing power. It helps you understand what that big number in the future will actually be able to buy.
