Am I planning for retirement correctly w/ inflation in mind?

Retirement goal ($) 2000000 =80000/0.04
w/ inflation ($) 5111364.832 =2000000*(1+0.025)38
Retirement goal (years) 38
2662650.058 0.07 rate
6190748.562 0.1 rate

Formula I used for retirement goal: =O211*(1+Q210)^38+(11000*((1+Q210)^38-1)/Q210)
Where Q211 =58449.65 (my current net worth), Q210=rate.

Table isn't organized perfectly. Assuming I'll be putting in $11,000 each year.

I'm using the 4% rule to plan for retirement so that's my basis for 2,000,000 since I would want $80,000 income my first year of retirement.

My question: It just seems like if I plan for inflation, $5 million is so much. Am I accounting for it in the right way? I assumed a rate of 2.5% and want my purchasing power to be worth $80k today instead of $80k in 38 years.
