Inflation adjustment calculator

[barnaby33]

Does anybody know of a good inflation adjustment calculator, for going both forward and backward? I just looked at a house advertised for 469 that last sold in 1997 for 170. I’d like to be able to get an inflation adjusted number for a current value. Now roughly I know its around 300, but I couldn’t find an online calculator that did the calcs for me.

Go here: http://www.bls.gov/cpi/ and look for the “Inflation Calculator” link on that page.

Good luck.

Using that inflation calculator and the criteria of 1997 to 2007 and 170k price…it would be $227,617. Which is roughly a 3% increase per year.

Is the CPI calculator a good choice for this though? I believe that inflation has grown at a much faster clip than 3% annually.

I think using 6% (304,444) is more realistic.
