Adjust other goods and services prices for inflation

Start with the inflation rate formula:

CPI in 2026 / CPI in 1988* 1988 USD value = 2026 USD value

Then plug in historical CPI values from above. The CPI for Other goods and services was 137.042 in the year 1988 and 597.799 in 2026:

597.799 / 137.042* $300,000,000,000,000 = $1,308,650,896,929,158
