How to calculate inflation rate for R$100 since 2010
Our calculations use the following inflation rate formula to calculate the change in value between 2010 and today:
CPI today CPI in 2010
×
2010 BRL value
=
Today's value
Then plug in historical CPI values. The Brazilian CPI was 72.26028 in the year 2010 and 161.32230450672006 in 2024:
161.3223045067200672.26028
×
R$100
=
R$223.25
R$100 in 2010 has the same "purchasing power" or "buying power" as R$223.25 in 2024.
To get the total inflation rate for the 14 years between 2010 and 2024, we use the following formula:
CPI in 2024 - CPI in 2010CPI in 2010
×
100
=
Cumulative inflation rate (14 years)
Plugging in the values to this equation, we get:
161.32230450672006 - 72.2602872.26028
×
100
