This is an inflation calculator for adjusting costs from one year to another using the
Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation index.
This inflation calculator is based on the average inflation index during the calendar
year. This inflation calculator will compute inflation rates between 1913 and 1999. The
CPI represents changes in prices of all goods and services purchased for consumption by
urban households. User fees (such as water and sewer service) and sales and excise taxes
paid by the consumer are also included. Income taxes and investment items (like stocks,
bonds, and life insurance) are not included.
