Buying power of Rp100 in 1996

This chart shows a calculation of buying power equivalence for Rp100 in 1996 (price index tracking began in 1959).

For example, if you started with Rp100, you would need to end with Rp828.39 in order to "adjust" for inflation (sometimes refered to as "beating inflation").

When Rp100 is equivalent to Rp828.39 over time, that means that the "real value" of a single Indonesian ruphia decreases over time. In other words, a ruphia will pay for fewer items at the store.

This effect explains how inflation erodes the value of a ruphia over time. By calculating the value in 1996 dollars, the chart below shows how Rp100 is worth less over 28 years.

According to the OECD and the World Bank, each of these IDR amounts below is equal in terms of what it could buy at the time:

This conversion table shows various other 1996 amounts in today's ruphias, based on the 728.39% change in prices:

How to calculate inflation rate for Rp100 since 1996
