CopiedAbout this inflation calculator
Move a dollar amount between two years using a cumulative inflation factor from the CPI series Bare embeds or the annual rate field on the page.
Future/past value scales by the ratio of index levels (or (1+rate)^years when using a constant rate mode). That preserves purchasing-power math, not investment return.
Not a forecast of next year’s CPI and not advice about COLAs or contracts. Index choice (CPI-U vs others) and basket differences matter for precise legal uses.
FAQ
What index is this? BLS CPI-U, all items, U.S. city average, not seasonally adjusted (series CUUR0000SA0), annual average. Base 1982–84 = 100.
What if a year is missing? The page says so. 2026 has no annual average in this table yet.
Is this official BLS output? The formula is amount × CPI_to / CPI_from. The table is a copy of published annual averages. Confirm on the BLS series page.
