This calculator uses official Consumer Price Index (CPI) data for United States (USD), sourced from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The formula is:
Adjusted Amount = Original Amount × (CPI End Year / CPI Start Year)
CPI measures the average change in prices paid by consumers for goods and services over time. A higher CPI means money buys less — that's inflation eroding purchasing power.
