Como funciona este cálculo (em termos simples)
A nominal raise is the dollar amount on your paycheck. A real wage calculation adjusts for price inflation using the formula (1 + Raise) / (1 + Inflation) - 1. If inflation is 5% and your raise was 3%, your nominal paycheck increased, but you can purchase 1.9% fewer goods and services than you did last year.
