How it works
The calculator multiplies your amount by the ratio of the two years’ Consumer Price Index values. If the index was 50 in one year and 100 in another, prices doubled, so $1 in the first year equals $2 in the second.
Calculations use the annual average Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 1913 to 2025. It measures average prices of a basket of goods and services. Your own costs may have changed more or less than the average.
