Lowest inflation may refer to years with the greatest deflation or the lowest amount of inflation above or equal to 0%. There were several years before the introduction of the consumer price index (CPI) in 1913 when inflation estimates were reported as 0% largely due to a lack of available data.

Year-over-year inflation is calculated by subtracting the value of the CPI at the end of the year from the value of the CPI at the beginning of the year.
