[QUOTE="Old Man Jingles, post: 3669610, member: 18222"] What is the current consumer price index rate? The Consumer Price Index (CPI-U) is compiled by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and is based upon a 1982 Base of 100. Therefore, a Consumer Price Index of 158 would indicate [B]58%[/B] inflation since 1982. The commonly quoted inflation rate of say [B]3%[/B] is actually the change in the Consumer Price Index from a year earlier. [FONT=Georgia][I]May 10, 2018[/I][/FONT] [SIZE=4][B][URL='https://inflationdata.com/Inflation/Consumer_Price_Index/CurrentCPI.asp']Current Consumer Price Index - InflationData.com[/URL][/B][/SIZE] [URL='https://inflationdata.com/Inflation/Consumer_Price_Index/CurrentCPI.asp']Current Consumer Price Index[/URL] CPIbased raises are usually less than inflation now that you mention it. Even more reason not to go with CPI. I remember when inflation was 3 and 4 % and the CPI was less than 1% ... everybody was bitching about that. [/QUOTE]
