How to calculate inflation rate for €1, 2014 to 2015

Our calculations use the following inflation rate formula to calculate the change in value between 2014 and 2015:

CPI in 2015 CPI in 2014
×
2014 EUR value
=
2015 EUR value

Then plug in historical CPI values. The Euro CPI was 99.9675 in the year 2014 and 100 in 2015:

10099.9675
×
€1
=
€1.00

€1 in 2014 has the same "purchasing power" or "buying power" as €1.00 in 2015.

To get the total inflation rate for the 1 years between 2014 and 2015, we use the following formula:

CPI in 2015 - CPI in 2014CPI in 2014
×
100
=
Cumulative inflation rate (1 years)

Plugging in the values to this equation, we get:

100 - 99.967599.9675
×
100
=
0%
