Enter the initial price ($) and the rate of inflation over the period (%) into the Inflated Price Calculator. The calculator will evaluate and display the Inflated Price. 

Inflated Price Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the Inflated Price. 

P = Pi + Pi *r/100

  • Where P is the Inflated Price ($)
  • Pi is the initial price ($) 
  • r is the rate of inflation over the period (%) 

How to Calculate Inflated Price?

The following example problems outline how to calculate Inflated Price.

Example Problem #1:

  1. First, determine the initial price ($). 
    1. The initial price ($) is given as: 600.
  2. Next, determine the rate of inflation over the period (%). 
    1. The rate of inflation over the period (%) is provided as: 10.
  3. Finally, calculate the Inflated Price using the equation above: 

P = Pi + Pi *r/100

The values given above are inserted into the equation below:

P = 600 + 600 *10/100 = 660.00 ($)


Example Problem #2: 

For this problem, the variables needed are provided below:

initial price ($) = 1550

rate of inflation over the period (%) = 5

This example problem is a test of your knowledge on the subject. Use the calculator above to check your answer. 

P = Pi + Pi *r/100 = ?
