Inflation by Spending Category
CPI is the weighted combination of many categories of spending that are tracked by the government. Breaking down these categories helps explain the main drivers behind price changes.
This chart shows the average rate of inflation for select CPI categories between 1700 and 2006.
Compare these values to the overall average of 1.28% per year:

For all these visualizations, it's important to note that not all categories may have been tracked since 1700. This table and charts use the earliest available data for each category.
How to calculate inflation rate for $2,700,000,000, 1700 to 2006
Our calculations use the following inflation rate formula to calculate the change in value between 1700 and 2006:
CPI in 2006CPI in 1700
×
1700 USD value
=
2006 USD value
Then plug in historical CPI values. The U.S. CPI was 4.1 in the year 1700 and 201.6 in 2006:
201.64.1
×
$2,700,000,000
=
$132,760,975,609.76
$2,700,000,000 in 1700 has the same "purchasing power" or "buying power" as $132,760,975,609.76 in 2006.
To get the total inflation rate for the 306 years between 1700 and 2006, we use the following formula:
CPI in 2006 - CPI in 1700CPI in 1700
×
100
=
Cumulative inflation rate (306 years)
Plugging in the values to this equation, we get:
201.6 - 4.14.1
×
100
=
4,817%
