Calculate inflation by year.
- We use data provided by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
- The inflation for the year is calculated as the inflation from the first of the year to the first of the year. This could be a discrepancy among other calculators.
The inflation calculator calculates the average increase in prices in the United States from year to year using the Consumer Price Index (CPI). This is done by aggregating different prices in different locations throughout the US over time. This includes prices such as cars, bread, housing, gas, etc. Enter the dollar amount and then calculate inflation between different years.
