Buying power of ¥100 in 2011

This chart shows a calculation of buying power equivalence for ¥100 in 2011 (price index tracking began in 1955).

For example, if you started with ¥100, you would need to end with ¥114.25 in order to "adjust" for inflation (sometimes refered to as "beating inflation").

When ¥100 is equivalent to ¥114.25 over time, that means that the "real value" of a single Japanese yen decreases over time. In other words, a yen will pay for fewer items at the store.

This effect explains how inflation erodes the value of a yen over time. By calculating the value in 2011 dollars, the chart below shows how ¥100 is worth less over 13 years.

How to calculate inflation rate for ¥100 since 2011

Our calculations use the following inflation rate formula to calculate the change in value between 2011 and today:

CPI today CPI in 2011
×
2011 JPY value
=
Today's value

Then plug in historical CPI values. The Japanese CPI was 96.26707 in the year 2011 and 109.98171951063019 in 2024:

109.9817195106301996.26707
×
¥100
=
¥114.25

¥100 in 2011 has the same "purchasing power" or "buying power" as ¥114.25 in 2024.

To get the total inflation rate for the 13 years between 2011 and 2024, we use the following formula:

CPI in 2024 - CPI in 2011CPI in 2011
×
100
=
Cumulative inflation rate (13 years)

Plugging in the values to this equation, we get:

109.98171951063019 - 96.2670796.26707
×
100
=
