How to calculate inflation rate for $100, 2005 to 2023

Our calculations use the following inflation rate formula to calculate the change in value between 2005 and 2023:

CPI in 2023 CPI in 2005
×
2005 CAD value

2023 CAD value

Then plug in historical CPI values. The Canadian CPI was 106.975 in the year 2005 and 156.99999999999997 in 2023:

156.99999999999997106.975

Plugging in the values to this equation, we get:

156.99999999999997 - 106.975106.975
×
100
