Buying power of $1 in 2000

This chart shows a calculation of buying power equivalence for $1 in 2000 (price index tracking began in 1914).

For example, if you started with $1, you would need to end with $1.14 in order to "adjust" for inflation (sometimes refered to as "beating inflation").

When $1 is equivalent to $1.14 over time, that means that the "real value" of a single Canadian dollar decreases over time. In other words, a dollar will pay for fewer items at the store.

This effect explains how inflation erodes the value of a dollar over time. By calculating the value in 2000 dollars, the chart below shows how $1 is worth less over 6 years.

According to Statistics Canada, each of these CAD amounts below is equal in terms of what it could buy at the time:

How to calculate inflation rate for $1, 2000 to 2006

Our calculations use the following inflation rate formula to calculate the change in value between 2000 and 2006:

CPI in 2006 CPI in 2000
×
2000 CAD value
=
2006 CAD value

Then plug in historical CPI values. The Canadian CPI was 95.375 in the year 2000 and 109.1166667 in 2006:

109.116666795.375
×
$1
=
$1.14

$1 in 2000 has the same "purchasing power" or "buying power" as $1.14 in 2006.

To get the total inflation rate for the 6 years between 2000 and 2006, we use the following formula:

CPI in 2006 - CPI in 2000CPI in 2000
×
100
=
Cumulative inflation rate (6 years)

Plugging in the values to this equation, we get:

109.1166667 - 95.37595.375
×
100
=
14%
