How to calculate inflation rate for $1, 2019 to 2020

Our calculations use the following inflation rate formula to calculate the change in value between 2019 and 2020:

CPI in 2020 CPI in 2019
×
2019 VEF value
=
2020 VEF value

Then plug in historical CPI values. The Venezuelan CPI was 24699721626 in the year 2019 and 607613152011 in 2020:

60761315201124699721626
×
$1
=
$24.60

$1 in 2019 has the same "purchasing power" or "buying power" as $24.60 in 2020.

To get the total inflation rate for the 1 years between 2019 and 2020, we use the following formula:

CPI in 2020 - CPI in 2019CPI in 2019
×
100
=
Cumulative inflation rate (1 years)

Plugging in the values to this equation, we get:

607613152011 - 2469972162624699721626
×
100
=
