Over. If you had of got 50% in both your essays, you would have scored 16.5% out of the 33%, but you got more than 50% in both so it's more probably actually around 18-19% Edited by sham157 - 07 Jan 2011 at 1:21pm |

Does anyone know the easiest way to convert nominal wages into real wages. Basically I want to take wages from a certain industry since 1988 and change them in lieu of inflation. Do I just divide nominal wages by the rate of inflation and then muliply by 100?

not sure if its wat your askin but if the rate of inflation is 4% just multiply the nominal by 1.04 ( likewise if it was 0.5% then multiply by 1.005) have u got an inflation rate from '88 till now or do ye just have year on year rates ? |

Just have the average wage figure. No inflation figures at all. The figures are off the CSO website so surely they're adjusted for inflation?

they would have to mention it somewhere in the figures if they were adjusted for inflation. O'wise id assume the were nominal for the given year

In 1988 the average wage stood at €372.06. Inflation in Feb 2013 stood at 1.10% So would that mean 1988 wages in todays value would be €409.27?

no (afaik) that inflation is year on year so just the inflation from last year to this year. to work out that '88 wage now you would have to multiple the nominal by the inflation for every since '88. so it'd look like (372.06 x 1.01 x 1.02 x 1.05 etc) also for your calculation above, say if 372.06 was the wage last year and you wanted it terms of this year then it would be (372.06 x 1.001) |

from the table below average annual inflation seems to be 2.5% from the years '88 to '13 so if assuming average wage in Feb '88 is €372.06 then that in todays money is €689.78 [ = (372.06) x (1.025)^25 ] 3 things to note, this is an eyeball guess on the average inflation as i cant zoom in or get the actual figure. This is the CPI inlfation rate (consumer price index, theres another way to calculate inflation) and finally i only moved into finance in september so i could be talkin through me hole   Edited by c90 - 15 Mar 2013 at 7:33pm |

Obviously, but it will be interesting to see him take the moral high ground in a maths argument
