according to sources, the inflation starting date in the U.S. is roughly 1770
Current year's inflation - last year's inflation / last year's inflation * 100 e.g ((B-A)/A)*100
When inflation is volatile from year to year
This year's rate of inflation is 10% or [(121 - 110)/110] x 100.
To determine the annual inflation rate, one can compare the Consumer Price Index (CPI) from the current year to the CPI from the previous year. The formula for calculating inflation rate is: (CPI current year - CPI previous year) / CPI previous year x 100. This will give you the percentage increase in prices over the year, which represents the annual inflation rate.

Inflation refers to the rate of increase of goods and services in a country Let us say the inflation rate of your country is 10% then whatever was worth $100 last year is worth $110 this year. This is the effect of inflation.

Inflation was the same thing back then as it is now. Inflation rates were and are different in different countries, so the amount of inflation in each country is always different, depending on the solidity of the local currency. In Britain the inflation rate in 1900 was 4.5%. In the USA it was 16.9% but then fell to -2.4 the next year. Inflation rates in the US changed greatly from year to year and were often double-digit (but sometimes that was double-digit deflation)
2016s rate was 4.85%, and the inflation rate was 2.5%
It's the difference between the yield on 10 year treasury bills and 10 year Inflation Protected T bills. The difference between the two implies what the market expects inflation to average over the 10 year period. When there's a big difference, inflation fears are high.
Inflation
To find the annual inflation rate, you can compare the Consumer Price Index (CPI) from the current year to the CPI from the previous year. Subtract the previous year's CPI from the current year's CPI, divide by the previous year's CPI, and multiply by 100 to get the percentage increase, which represents the annual inflation rate.
A good description of "inflation" is an increase in prices and a fall in the value of money. Inflation is usually represented as a percentage increase for one month over the same month the previous year. Double-digit inflation is when this percentage is greater than 10%. If inflation rises even more than 100% (i.e. prices are twice s high as last year) it is usually called "hyper-inflation".
