How to calculate inflation rate for $1, 2018 to 2019

Our calculations use the following inflation rate formula to calculate the change in value between 2018 and 2019:

CPI in 2019 CPI in 2018
×
2018 VEF value
=
2019 VEF value

Then plug in historical CPI values. The Venezuelan CPI was 128644383.5 in the year 2018 and 24699721626 in 2019:

24699721626128644383.5
×
$1
=
$192.00

$1 in 2018 has the same "purchasing power" or "buying power" as $192.00 in 2019.

To get the total inflation rate for the 1 years between 2018 and 2019, we use the following formula:

CPI in 2019 - CPI in 2018CPI in 2018
×
100
=
Cumulative inflation rate (1 years)

Plugging in the values to this equation, we get:

24699721626 - 128644383.5128644383.5
×
100
=
19,100%
