How to calculate inflation rate for $1, 2010 to 2011
Our calculations use the following inflation rate formula to calculate the change in value between 2010 and 2011:
CPI in 2011 CPI in 2010
×
2010 AUD value
=
2011 AUD value
Then plug in historical CPI values. The Australian CPI was 96.1 in the year 2010 and 99.3 in 2011:
99.396.1
×
$1
=
$1.03
$1 in 2010 has the same "purchasing power" or "buying power" as $1.03 in 2011.
To get the total inflation rate for the 1 years between 2010 and 2011, we use the following formula:
CPI in 2011 - CPI in 2010CPI in 2010
×
100
=
Cumulative inflation rate (1 years)
Plugging in the values to this equation, we get:
99.3 - 96.196.1
×
100
=
3%
