Inflation by Spending Category

CPI is the weighted combination of many categories of spending that are tracked by the government. Breaking down these categories helps explain the main drivers behind price changes.

This chart shows the average rate of inflation for select CPI categories between 1660 and 1667.

Compare these values to the overall average of -2.80% per year:

How to calculate inflation rate for $1, 1660 to 1667

Our calculations use the following inflation rate formula to calculate the change in value between 1660 and 1667:

CPI in 1667 CPI in 1660
×
1660 USD value
=
1667 USD value

Then plug in historical CPI values. The U.S. CPI was 5 in the year 1660 and 4.1 in 1667:

4.15
×
$1
=
$0.82

$1 in 1660 has the same "purchasing power" or "buying power" as $0.82 in 1667.

To get the total inflation rate for the 7 years between 1660 and 1667, we use the following formula:

CPI in 1667 - CPI in 1660CPI in 1660
×
100
=
Cumulative inflation rate (7 years)

Plugging in the values to this equation, we get:

4.1 - 55
×
100
=
-18%
