About This Calculator
This inflation calculator uses historical Consumer Price Index (CPI) data to determine the equivalent buying power of money across different years. The calculator spans from 1774 to the present day, allowing you to see how inflation has affected the value of the dollar over more than two centuries.
How It Works
The calculator uses conversion factors based on CPI data to determine how much money from a past year would be worth in today's dollars. For example, $100 in 1950 had significantly more buying power than $100 today due to inflation over the decades.
