How to calculate inflation rate for $1, 1933 to 1934

Our calculations use the following inflation rate formula to calculate the change in value between 1933 and 1934:

CPI in 1934 CPI in 1933
×
1933 AUD value
=
1934 AUD value

Then plug in historical CPI values. The Australian CPI was 2.3 in the year 1933 and 2.3 in 1934:

2.32.3
×
$1
=
$1

$1 in 1933 has the same "purchasing power" or "buying power" as $1 in 1934.

To get the total inflation rate for the 1 years between 1933 and 1934, we use the following formula:

CPI in 1934 - CPI in 1933CPI in 1933
×
100
