How to calculate inflation rate for $1, 1994 to 1995
Our calculations use the following inflation rate formula to calculate the change in value between 1994 and 1995:
CPI in 1995 CPI in 1994
×
1994 AUD value
=
1995 AUD value
Then plug in historical CPI values. The Australian CPI was 62.1 in the year 1994 and 65 in 1995:
6562.1
×
$1
=
$1.05
$1 in 1994 has the same "purchasing power" or "buying power" as $1.05 in 1995.
To get the total inflation rate for the 1 years between 1994 and 1995, we use the following formula:
CPI in 1995 - CPI in 1994CPI in 1994
×
100
=
Cumulative inflation rate (1 years)
Plugging in the values to this equation, we get:
65 - 62.162.1
×
