The Consumer Price Index data, also known as the CPI, is provided by the U.S. Government Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistic. The CPI data used in this calculator was last updated on January 31, 2012 to include the year 2011, and will next be updated January 2013.

The Consumer Price Index data measures an average of costs for the US urban population, and can only be loosely applied to other populations.
