Purchasing power decreased by 0.00% in 1751 compared to the previous year, 1750. On average, you would have to spend 0.00% more money in 1751 than in 1750 for the same item.
In other words, $1 in 1750 is equivalent in purchasing power to $1 in 1751.
The 1750 inflation rate was 0.00%. The inflation rate in 1751 was 0.00%. The 1751 inflation rate is lower compared to the average inflation rate of 1.38% per year between 1751 and 2019.
Inflation rate is calculated by change in the consumer price index (CPI). The CPI in 1751 was 6.4. It was 6.4 in the previous year, 1750. The difference in CPI between the years is used by the Bureau of Labor Statistics to officially determine inflation.
|Average inflation rate||0.00%|
|Converted amount ($1 base)||$1|
|Price difference ($1 base)||$0.00|
|CPI in 1750||6.400|
|CPI in 1751||6.400|
|Inflation in 1750||0.00%|
|Inflation in 1751||0.00%|
Inflation can also vary widely by country. For comparison, in the UK £1.00 in 1750 would be equivalent to £0.98 in 1751, an absolute change of £-0.02 and a cumulative change of -1.96%.
Compare these numbers to the US's overall absolute change of $0.00 and total percent change of 0.00%.
CPI is the weighted combination of many categories of spending that are tracked by the government. This chart shows the average rate of inflation for select CPI categories between 1750 and 1751.
Compare these values to the overall average of 0.00% per year:
|Category||Avg Inflation (%)||Total Inflation (%)||$1 in 1750 → 1751|
|Used cars and trucks||0.00||0.00||1.00|
|Medical care services||0.00||0.00||1.00|
|Medical care commodities||0.00||0.00||1.00|
It's important to note that not all categories may be tracked since 1750. This table and visualization use the earliest available data for each category.
This inflation calculator uses the following inflation rate formula:
Then plug in historical CPI values. The U.S. CPI was 6.4 in the year 1750 and 6.4 in 1751:
$1 in 1750 has the same "purchasing power" or "buying power" as $1 in 1751.
To get the total inflation rate for the 1 years between 1750 and 1751, we use the following formula:
Plugging in the values to this equation, we get:
Raw data for these calculations comes from the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Consumer Price Index (CPI), established in 1913. Inflation data from 1665 to 1912 is sourced from a historical study conducted by political science professor Robert Sahr at Oregon State University.
