A dollar just ain't what it used to be.
Our inflation calculator will tell you the relative buying power of a dollar in the United States between any two years from 1914-2013.
It will also calculate the rate of inflation during the time period you choose.
We determine the value of a dollar using the Consumer Price Index from December of the previous year. All calculations are approximate.
Fun fact: In 2007, the inflation rate was 4.08%. This was higher than any year since 1990. In 2008, the inflation rate was 0.09%, the lowest rate since 1954.
