Adjusting for InflationCalculating Estimated Real (Inflation Adjusted) value Calculate the price of a 1968 stamp in 2007 dollars 1968 Price = $0.06 2007 CPI = 217.9 1968 CPI = 34.8 Current Amount * (Future Year CPI / Current Year CPI) = Future Amount 1968 Price * (2009 CPI / 1968 CPI) = 2009 Price $0.06 * (217.9/34.8) = $0.38
Adjusting for InflationCalculating Estimated Nominal Value Calculate cost of a 2009 stamp in 1914 dollars 2009 Price = $0.44 1914 CPI = 10 2009 CPI = 217.9 Future Amount * (Original CPI / Future CPI) 2009 Price * (1914 CPI / 2009 CPI) = Estimated 1914 Price $0.44* (10/217.9) = $0.02
