Reverse Inflation Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the Reverse Inflation. 

IP = CP / (1+R/100)

• Where IP is the initial price before inflation ($)
• CP is the current price ($) 
• R is the inflation rate (%) 

How to Calculate Reverse Inflation?

The following example problems outline how to calculate Reverse Inflation.

Example Problem #1:

1. First, determine the current price ($). 
   • The current price ($) is given as: 500.
2. Next, determine the inflation rate (%). 
   • The inflation rate (%) is provided as: 10.
3. Finally, calculate the Reverse Inflation using the equation above: 

IP = CP / (1+R/100)

The values given above are inserted into the equation below and the solution is calculated:

IP = 500 / (1+10/100) = 454.54 ($)

Example Problem #2: 

For this problem, the variables required are provided below:

current price ($) = 600

inflation rate (%) = 20

Test your knowledge using the equation and check your answer with the calculator above.

IP = CP / (1+R/100) = ?
