Finding Essential Inflation Information. 1  1. Look up the average prices of the several products across a few years. Inflation is calculated by comparing prices of standard goods across time -- things like a loaf of white bread or a gallon of milk. 2  2. Load the Consumer Price Index.
The formula for calculating the Inflation Rate looks like this: ((B-A)/A)*100. Where A is the Starting number and B is the ending number. So if exactly one year ago the Consumer Price Index was 178 and today the CPI is 185, then the calculations would look like this: ((185-178)/178)*100.
