How much a US dollar amount from any year since 1947 is worth today, or in any other year. The calculator scales the amount by the change in the consumer price index (CPI) between the two years: if prices doubled, $100 then buys what $200 buys now.
Enter an amount and pick two years. Uses the CPI for all urban consumers, back to 1947.
