For all these visualizations, it's important to note that not all categories may have been tracked since This table and charts use the earliest available data for each category. Our calculations use the following inflation rate formula to calculate the change in value between and today:. Then plug in historical CPI values. The U. CPI was To get the total inflation rate for the 71 years between and , we use the following formula:.
The average inflation rate of 3. As noted above, this yearly inflation rate compounds to produce an overall price difference of 1, This is a return on investment of , These numbers are not inflation adjusted, so they are considered nominal.
In order to evaluate the real return on our investment, we must calculate the return with inflation taken into account. The compounding effect of inflation would account for Inflation data from to is sourced from a historical study conducted by political science professor Robert Sahr at Oregon State University.

If you're interested to see the effect of inflation on various amounts, the table below shows how much each amount would be worth today based on the price increase of 1, We then replace the variables with the historical CPI values.
The CPI in was To work out the total inflation rate for the 71 years between and , we can use a different formula:. Again, we can replace those variables with the correct Consumer Price Index values to work out the cumulativate rate:.
The inflation rate is the percentage increase in the average level of prices of a basket of selected goods over time. It indicates a decrease in the purchasing power of currency and results in an increased consumer price index CPI.
