the Steampunk Calculator
(Be Patient remember this is Steampunk Technology it takes a moment to build up steam! Watch the Fun! )
Our “Steampunk” Calculator is a fun way to calculate inflation for very long periods (i.e., since 1774). Since data prior to 1913 doesn’t include monthly data, you can only enter a year into this calculator. It purposely runs a bit slower to give you a fun steampunk show of spinning dials and a puff of steam.

The steampunk inflation calculator was designed
to be a fun way to calculate U.S. inflation from
1774 through 2024
.
(NOTE: Results are not as accurate as our Cumulative Inflation Calculator which calculates down to the month. The steampunk Calculator uses annual averages but does go much further back into history.)
It calculates the inflation rate and inflation adjusted prices based on conversion factors created by Oregon State University economists (page no longer updated).
For the period from 1913 - present, the data is based on the annual average U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics CPI so it should produce roughly the same result as the BLS Buying Power Calculator (see below) but it also combines other data sources for the periods outside the range available from the BLS. But it is only approximate since it takes the average index for the whole year. If you want accuracy down to a specific month you should use our Cumulative Inflation Calculator.
The Steam Punk Inflation Calculator tells you the cumulative inflation rate over the period chosen plus the inflation adjusted price of a starting value of your choice.
Simply enter the starting year, ending year and starting value and hit your enter key to start the calculation.
Please be patient and enjoy watching the lights flash and the gears spin.
You can click the "reset" button to try different numbers and watch the fun again.
