Calculate Inflation Rate for $268 from 1964 to 1965

To calculate the inflation rate of $268 from 1964 to 1965, we use the following formula:

$$\dfrac{ 1964\; USD\; value \times CPI\; in\; 1965 }{ CPI\; in\; 1964 } = 1965\; USD\; value $$

We then replace the variables with the historical CPI values. The CPI in 1964 was 31 and 31.5 in 1965.

$$\dfrac{ \$268 \times 31.5 }{ 31 } = \text{ \$272.32 } $$


To work out the total inflation rate for the 1 year between 1964 and 1965, we can use a different formula:

$$ \dfrac{\text{CPI in 1965 } - \text{ CPI in 1964 } }{\text{CPI in 1964 }} \times 100 = \text{Cumulative rate for 1 year} $$


$$ \dfrac{\text{ 31.5 } - \text{ 31 } }{\text{ 31 }} \times 100 = \text{ 1.61\% } $$
