Real rate = 11-3.8
= 7.2%
1,500,000/(1+0.072)^40= 92960.80

To check this is correct you can do:
92960.80*(1+0.072)^40= 1,500,000

you need to use the Fisher formula to find the real interest rate
1+R=(1+r)x(1+h)
where R=11%nominal rate
h=3.8%inflation
and r= the real interest rate

1+.11=(1+r)x(1+.038)
r=6.94% =I/Y
N=40
PV=0
FV=1.5million
PMT=7630.72
You want to have $5 million in real dollars in an account when you retire in 30 years. The nominal return on your investment is 8 percent and the inflation rate is 3.9 percent.
