Adjust other goods and services prices for inflation

Start with the inflation rate formula:

CPI in 2024 / CPI in 1973 * 1973 USD value = 2024 USD value

Then plug in historical CPI values from above. The CPI for Other goods and services was 46.438 in the year 1973 and 551.145 in 2024:

551.145 / 46.438 * $300 = $3,560.49

Therefore, according to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, $300 in 1973 has the same "purchasing power" as $3,560.49 in 2024 (in the CPI category of Other goods and services).
