How to Find CPI?

CPI = Consumer Price Index

Find the current CPI from the official statistics agency in your country

Use the same base year for both time periods

Get the CPI for the earlier period

Get the CPI for the later period

Use the formula: CPI = (Cost of market basket in current year / Cost of market basket in base year) × 100

If comparing price changes, use: Inflation rate = [(CPI in later period – CPI in earlier period) / CPI in earlier period] × 100

If converting money values, use: Adjusted value = Original value × (CPI in later period / CPI in earlier period)
