Inflation in 1675 and Its Effect on Dollar Value
Purchasing power increased by 12.20% in 1675 compared to 1674. On average, you would have to spend 12.20% less money in 1675 than in 1674 for the same item. This is an example of deflation.
In other words, $1 in 1674 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $0.88 in 1675.
The 1674 inflation rate was 5.13%. The inflation rate in 1675 was -12.20%. The 1675 inflation rate is lower compared to the average inflation rate of 1.25% per year between 1675 and 2019.
Inflation rate is calculated by change in the consumer price index (CPI). The CPI in 1675 was 3.60. It was 4.10 in the previous year, 1674. The difference in CPI between the years is used by the Bureau of Labor Statistics to officially determine inflation. Because the 1675 CPI is less than 1674 CPI, negative inflation (also known as deflation) has occurred.

How to Calculate Inflation Rate for $1, 1674 to 1675
This inflation calculator uses the following inflation rate formula:
CPI in 1675CPI in 1674
×
1674 USD value
=
1675 USD value
Then plug in historical CPI values. The U.S. CPI was 4.1 in the year 1674 and 3.6 in 1675:
3.64.1
×
$1
=
$0.88
$1 in 1674 has the same "purchasing power" or "buying power" as $0.88 in 1675.
To get the total inflation rate for the 1 years between 1674 and 1675, we use the following formula:
CPI in 1675 - CPI in 1674CPI in 1674
×
100
=
Cumulative inflation rate (1 years)
Plugging in the values to this equation, we get:
3.6 - 4.14.1
×
100
=
-12%
