So if the value of the price index for the current year is equal to 165, and last year's value was 150, the rate would be calculated as: Inflation rate = (165 - 150) X100= 10.
Consumer Price Index. The Consumer Price Index is the most widely used measure of inflation and is often referred to as the cost of living index.
