Buying power of $1 in 1923

This chart shows a calculation of buying power equivalence for $1 in 1923 (price index tracking began in 1922).

For example, if you started with $1, you would need to end with $1 in order to "adjust" for inflation (sometimes refered to as "beating inflation").

When $1 is equivalent to $1 over time, that means that the "real value" of a single Australian dollar decreases over time. In other words, a dollar will pay for fewer items at the store.

This effect explains how inflation erodes the value of a dollar over time. By calculating the value in 1923 dollars, the chart below shows how $1 is worth less over 2 years.

According to the Bureau of Statistics, each of these AUD amounts below is equal in terms of what it could buy at the time:

How to calculate inflation rate for $1, 1923 to 1925

Our calculations use the following inflation rate formula to calculate the change in value between 1923 and 1925:

CPI in 1923 CPI in 1925
×
1925 AUD value
=
1923 AUD value

Then plug in historical CPI values. The Australian CPI was 2.8 in the year 1925 and 2.8 in 1923:

2.82.8
×
$1
=
$1

$1 in 1925 has the same "purchasing power" or "buying power" as $1 in 1923.

To get the total inflation rate for the 2 years between 1923 and 1925, we use the following formula:

CPI in 1923 - CPI in 1925CPI in 1925
×
100
=
Cumulative inflation rate (2 years)

Plugging in the values to this equation, we get:

2.8 - 2.82.8
×
100
=
0%
