Real
The real rate of return refers to the actual interest rate at which the investment is earned considering the inflation value of every year.
Nominal Rate of Return:

You know that the stated rate of return is not what you really earned. If the inflation rate
last year was 4.1%, and your investment had a stated rate of 18%, what was your real
return?
(Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded
to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
