The steps involved in calculating the consumer price index and the inflation rate, in order are: Fix the basket, find the prices, compute the basket's cost, choose a base year and compute the index, and compute the inflation rate.
The consumer price index is primarily a measure of the cost of living. Each month, the BLS gathers data on the prices of hundreds of goods and services. After making adjustments for changes in package sizes, and, periodically, for changes in quality, it reports the result as a weighted average.he consumer price index is primarily a measure of the cost of living.
