Inflation Calculator

Inflation is measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI).

The formula is as follows: inflation = ((CPI x+1 – CPIx)/ CPIx))*100

Note: CPIx is the Initial Consumer Price of the Index

There are three primary types of inflation:

1. Demand-pull inflation:

This can be described as how demand for goods and services can drive up their prices. You can get people to pay more for something if it is in short supply.

2. Cost-push inflation:

When the cost of raw materials increases for businesses, the businesses in turn must raise their prices, regardless of demand. It often kicks in when demand-pull inflation is going strong. 

3. Built-in inflation:

When a business raises workers’ wages or salaries and tries to maintain profit margins by raising prices, that’s built-in inflation.

Deflation refers to a decline in the overall price level of goods and services, happening when the inflation rate drops below 0%. While inflation erodes the purchasing power of money, deflation actually enhances it, enabling consumers to purchase more goods and services with the same amount of currency.
