How this inflation calculator works
We divide the Consumer Price Index for the target year by the CPI for the starting year and multiply by your amount. The index is the CPI-U annual average published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, which tracks the prices urban consumers pay for a basket of goods and services. Annual averages smooth out month-to-month swings, so results can differ slightly from calculators that use a single month.
