This Historical Inflation Calculator will calculate the amount of CPI price inflation between any two dates from 1913 up to the latest month reported by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).

(A second calculator based on input future inflation rates is coming soon.)

The CPI data is sourced from the BLS. However, we also present our own "Alternate SGS" CPI estimates for comparison purposes.

Note that we show the Alternate SGS estimates graphically for non-subscribers, and with numerical precision for subscribers.
