How to Calculate Inflation Rate for $1, 1922 to 1923
Our calculations use the following inflation rate formula to calculate the change in value between 1922 and 1923:
CPI in 1923
CPI in 1922
×
1922 CAD value
=
1923 CAD value
Then plug in historical CPI values. The Canadian CPI was 9.2 in the year 1922 and 9.2 in 1923:
