Inflation-Adjusted Bond Wealth Calculator

Real purchasing power of a bond investment at horizon — nominal compounding deflated by CPI, with the after-tax real return.

$—
Real value at horizon (after tax)
—%
After-tax real return
$—
Nominal value (after tax)

Formula

real = [(1 + y(1−t)) / (1+π)]^n

Tax applies to the nominal coupon, not the real one — at 31.2% tax and 5% inflation, a 7.2% bond compounds purchasing power at barely zero. This tax-on-inflation effect is the silent killer of FD-heavy portfolios and the case for inflation-linked or growth assets.
