How to calculate inflation rate for $1, 1924 to 1925

Our calculations use the following inflation rate formula to calculate the change in value between 1924 and 1925:

CPI in 1925 CPI in 1924
×
1924 CAD value
=
1925 CAD value

Then plug in historical CPI values. The Canadian CPI was 9.025 in the year 1924 and 9.133333333 in 1925:

9.1333333339.025
×
$1
=
$1.01

$1 in 1924 has the same "purchasing power" or "buying power" as $1.01 in 1925.

To get the total inflation rate for the 1 years between 1924 and 1925, we use the following formula:

CPI in 1925 - CPI in 1924CPI in 1924
×
100
=
Cumulative inflation rate (1 years)

Plugging in the values to this equation, we get:

9.133333333 - 9.0259.025
×
100
=
1%
