Inflation Rate Calculator Updated for Oct 2017

The Inflation Rate Calculator included in the Pro RE Calculator suite of online real estate calculators has been updated in accordance with the latest US government CPI data released on Wednesday, November 15. This update means Pro RE Calculator users can now compute US inflation rates from 1913 through October 2017.

Example

You spent $3,300 for a used car back in 1988 and want to know how much money you would have to spend in October 2017 to purchase a similar car. Here are the steps:
