Inflation Calculator
Find out what a dollar amount from any year is worth today using US CPI inflation data.
How the Inflation Calculator Works
This calculator uses the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The CPI measures the average change in prices paid by consumers for a basket of goods and services over time.
The adjusted value is calculated by dividing the CPI of the target year by the CPI of the original year, then multiplying by the dollar amount:
Adjusted Value = Amount x (CPI in Target Year / CPI in Original Year)
For example, $100 in 1990 has significantly more purchasing power than $100 today because the cost of goods and services has increased due to inflation.
The CPI data used covers 1913 through 2025. Values are annual averages based on Bureau of Labor Statistics data.
