How to calculate inflation rate for $100, 2000 to 2003
Our calculations use the following inflation rate formula to calculate the change in value between 2000 and 2003:
CPI in 2003 CPI in 2000
×

To get the total inflation rate for the 3 years between 2000 and 2003, we use the following formula:
CPI in 2003 - CPI in 2000CPI in 2000
×
100
=
Cumulative inflation rate (3 years)
Plugging in the values to this equation, we get:
102.75 - 95.37595.375
