How to calculate inflation rate for $1, 1993 to 1994
Our calculations use the following inflation rate formula to calculate the change in value between 1993 and 1994:
CPI in 1994 CPI in 1993
×
1993 CAD value
=
1994 CAD value
Then plug in historical CPI values. The Canadian CPI was 85.56666667 in the year 1993 and 85.70833333 in 1994:
85.7083333385.56666667
×
$1
=
$1.00
$1 in 1993 has the same "purchasing power" or "buying power" as $1.00 in 1994.
To get the total inflation rate for the 1 years between 1993 and 1994, we use the following formula:
CPI in 1994 - CPI in 1993CPI in 1993
×
100
=
Cumulative inflation rate (1 years)
Plugging in the values to this equation, we get:
85.70833333 - 85.5666666785.56666667
×
100
=
