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 CAD value
=
1995 CAD value

Then plug in historical CPI values. The Canadian CPI was 85.70833333 in the year 1994 and 87.55 in 1995:

87.5585.70833333
×

CPI in 1995 - CPI in 1994CPI in 1994
×
100
=
Cumulative inflation rate (1 years)

Plugging in the values to this equation, we get:

87.55 - 85.7083333385.70833333
