How to calculate inflation rate for $1, 2000 to 2020

Our calculations use the following inflation rate formula to calculate the change in value between 2000 and 2020:

CPI in 2020 CPI in 2000
×
2000 VEF value
=
2020 VEF value

Then plug in historical CPI values. The Venezuelan CPI was 36084.9956 in the year 2000 and 607613152011 in 2020:

60761315201136084.9956
×
$1
=
$16,838,387.86

$1 in 2000 has the same "purchasing power" or "buying power" as $16,838,387.86 in 2020.

To get the total inflation rate for the 20 years between 2000 and 2020, we use the following formula:

CPI in 2020 - CPI in 2000CPI in 2000
×
100
=
Cumulative inflation rate (20 years)

Plugging in the values to this equation, we get:

607613152011 - 36084.995636084.9956
×
100
=
1,683,838,686%
