For just current CPI data, see CPI
page. The following table provides all the Consumer Price Index
data CPI-U from 1913 to the Present.
The Consumer Price Index (CPI-U) is compiled
by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and is based upon a 1982 Base
of 100. A Consumer Price Index of 158 indicates 58% inflation since
1982. The commonly quoted inflation rate of say 3% is actually the
change in the Consumer Price Index from a year earlier. By looking
at the change in the Consumer Price Index we can see that what cost
an average of 9.9 cents in 1913 would cost us about $1.82 in 2003
and $2.02 in 2007.
To find Prior Consumer Price Index (CPI) data on
this table (back through 1913) click on the date range links below
the table.
For Inflation data rather than Consumer Price Index
data go to the Historical
Inflation page. If you would like to calculate the inflation
rate between two dates using the Consumer Price Index data from
this chart, use our handy easy to use Inflation
calculator or you might prefer to use
our Cost
of Living Calculator to compare the costs in two cities. You
can find links to Inflation and Consumer Price Index data for other
countries HERE.
A chart of Inflation
by decade, Annual
Inflation and
Confederate Inflation is also available. Menu navigation is
available on the menu bar on the left of every page. We have a
complete listing of all of our Articles on inflation, including
Inflation Definitions,
Which is better High or Low
Inflation, and
How to Calculate Inflation.
You might also be interested in the wide variety
of articles on our sister site
Financial Trend Forecaster like the article on Finding
the right Mortgage, or
Developing a Millionaire Mind, a complete list of the articles
on Financial Trend Forecaster
is at the FTF Article
Archives. Note Effective January 2007
the BLS began publishing the CPI index to three decimal places
(prior to that it was only one decimal place). But InflationData.com is still the only place to get
the Inflation Rate calculated to
two decimal places.
Blank Cells = Data not available because it has
