Buying power of $1 in 2000
This chart shows a calculation of buying power equivalence for $1 in 2000 (price index tracking began in 1922).
For example, if you started with $1, you would need to end with $1.08 in order to "adjust" for inflation (sometimes refered to as "beating inflation").
When $1 is equivalent to $1.08 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 2000 dollars, the chart below shows how $1 is worth less over 2 years.

How to calculate inflation rate for $1, 2000 to 2002
Our calculations use the following inflation rate formula to calculate the change in value between 2000 and 2002:
CPI in 2002 CPI in 2000
×
2000 AUD value
=
2002 AUD value
Then plug in historical CPI values. The Australian CPI was 71.5 in the year 2000 and 76.9 in 2002:
76.971.5
×
$1
=
$1.08
$1 in 2000 has the same "purchasing power" or "buying power" as $1.08 in 2002.
To get the total inflation rate for the 2 years between 2000 and 2002, we use the following formula:
CPI in 2002 - CPI in 2000CPI in 2000
×
100
=
Cumulative inflation rate (2 years)
Plugging in the values to this equation, we get:
76.9 - 71.571.5
×
100
=
8%
