The following table provides all the Inflation data from 1914
to the Present. For the current inflation rate data just since the
year 2000, see Inflation
page. The Inflation rate is calculated
from the Consumer Price Index (CPI-U) which is compiled by the Bureau
of Labor Statistics and is based upon a 1982 Base of 100. To view
the actual Consumer Price Index data that this inflation data is
calculated from, go to the
Historical CPI table.
A CPI of 195 indicates 95% inflation since 1982,
the commonly quoted inflation rate of say 3% is actually the change
in the Consumer Price Index from a year earlier. To find Prior Inflation
rate data on this table (back through 1914) click on the date
range below the table.
The "Ave" on this table is the Average
of the individual Inflation rates for that year. Caution, you
can not just add the inflation rates from two consecutive years
or even average them to find the total inflation between two dates.
If you would like to calculate the inflation rate between two dates
you must base your calculations on the actual CPI index or you can
use our handy easy to use Inflation
calculator or you might prefer to use
our Cost
of Living Calculator to compare the costs in two cities.
You can find links to Inflation and Consumer Price
Index data for other countries HERE.

by decade, Annual
