Buying power of ¥100 in 2011

This chart shows a calculation of buying power equivalence for ¥100 in 2011 (price index tracking began in 1955).

For example, if you started with ¥100, you would need to end with ¥103.24 in order to "adjust" for inflation (sometimes refered to as "beating inflation").

When ¥100 is equivalent to ¥103.24 over time, that means that the "real value" of a single Japanese yen decreases over time. In other words, a yen will pay for fewer items at the store.

This effect explains how inflation erodes the value of a yen over time. By calculating the value in 2011 dollars, the chart below shows how ¥100 is worth less over 12 years.

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

How to calculate inflation rate for ¥100, 2011 to 2023

Our calculations use the following inflation rate formula to calculate the change in value between 2011 and 2023:

CPI in 2023CPI in 2011
×
2011 JPY value
=
2023 JPY value

Then plug in historical CPI values. The Japanese CPI was 96.26707 in the year 2011 and 99.38480235312984 in 2023:

99.3848023531298496.26707
×
¥100
=
¥103.24

¥100 in 2011 has the same "purchasing power" or "buying power" as ¥103.24 in 2023.

To get the total inflation rate for the 12 years between 2011 and 2023, we use the following formula:

CPI in 2023 - CPI in 2011CPI in 2011
×
100
=
Cumulative inflation rate (12 years)

Plugging in the values to this equation, we get:

99.38480235312984 - 96.2670796.26707
×
100
=
3%
